About Me

CTO | SaaS Builder | AI/Cloud Transformation Leader

Strategic CTO and technology leader with 15+ years of experience driving innovation, scaling engineering teams, and delivering SaaS and AI/ML products that generate millions in revenue.

Proven success in building high-impact SaaS platforms (£4.5M revenue first year), modernising infrastructure through cloud and cybersecurity transformations, and leading cross-functional teams across the U.S. and UK.

Deep technical expertise in AWS, Azure, GCP, AI/ML systems, cybersecurity (CISSP, OSCP), and cloud-native DevOps. Skilled in remote leadership, digital transformation, and product growth from MVP to enterprise scale.

Open to leadership opportunities with high-growth U.S. or UK companies embracing remote innovation.

My Ethos

Resilience isn't optional. Simplicity isn't naive. Speed without foresight is suicide.
I move fast — but I move smart. Every platform, every stack, every mission — I build for the moments when failure isn't an option and clarity under pressure is life support.

Why It Matters

Anyone can build when it's sunny. I build for the storms.
Because when systems buckle and seconds count, you don't need hope — you need someone who already has the answers.
