Based in London, he focuses on delivering stable, scalable systems that reduce developer friction and enable reliable software delivery at enterprise scale. His background includes a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Southampton and early internet-services development at Netcraft, which informs a pragmatic approach to tooling and automation.
