Currently leading product and proprietary tech at TwentySeven Works, he specialises in integrating social media, community-building and CRM capabilities into scalable web services. His background spans enterprise-grade .NET systems at the BBC and Barclays to architecting DADI’s decentralized cloud and microservices using Node.js, Go and containerisation—paired with an almost obsessive focus on unit testing and operational robustness.
