I build engineering teams that ship live sport to millions of Australians — every weekend.
What I do
Platform Unification
Consolidated fragmented, codebases into single-stack ecosystems powering multiple streaming brands. Led zero-downtime cutovers across identity, checkout, and content delivery.
Live Streaming at Scale
Accountable for platform readiness across Australia's biggest live sport moments — CDN orchestration, DRM, custom players, and ad-tech operating under peak concurrency for millions of concurrent viewers.
Engineering Leadership
Manager of managers. Scaled and led divisions of 50+ engineers across distributed teams. Stewardship of senior ICs, staff architects, and delivery leads through M&A transformation and organisational change.
AI Strategy & Governance
Governing the rollout of AI-assisted engineering workflows and agentic tooling. Partnering with Product on GenAI features: recommendation, personalised discovery, automated metadata, LLM-powered search.

How I work
I pair with Product to align delivery with business outcomes.
I treat platform reliability as a product feature, not a tax.
The data drives the roadmap and measure my impact.
I grow my leaders by giving them space to lead and holding them accountable for results.
I default to transparency with my teams. If I can't share something, I say that explicitly rather than going quiet.
