About

I am a Solutions Architect at MongoDB in London. I work with organisations on distributed data platforms, developer platforms, and application design—including how AI sits on top of that stack.

I started as a software engineer, then spent several years in solutions and sales engineering at Comcast (EMEA and APAC), where I was the technical lead on large media deals. I still like translating between engineers, product teams, and stakeholders—through architecture and workshops, but also by shipping production code and tuning systems when that is what moves the work forward.

Outside work I travel when I can, keep reasonably fit, and read about whatever technology catches my attention that week.
