About Me

After 15+ years building and scaling institutional-grade platforms, including serving as CTO at Caplin Systems, I've learned what truly matters when it comes to enterprise technical maturity.

My Mission


I help scaling companies build the technical foundations they need to win and successfully deliver major enterprise deals. My focus is on transforming technical capabilities before they become blockers - turning potential crisis points into competitive advantages.

Why This Matters


Every scaling company hits an inflection point: Their product gains traction with enterprise prospects, but technical maturity becomes the barrier to closing deals. Those who prepare for this moment thrive. Those who don't face painful choices between growth and stability.

My Approach


I believe in building sustainable technical maturity. This isn't about checkbox compliance or rushing through transformations. It's about building robust foundations that support both growth and innovation.

I focus on five critical areas:
→ Building production-ready, compliant platforms
→ Establishing robust security and compliance controls
→ Creating high-performing engineering teams
→ Implementing scalable delivery processes
→ Ensuring reliable production operations and incident response

Experience


Having led engineering teams through successful enterprise transformations and delivered platforms to major financial institutions, I understand both the technical and organisational challenges involved. I've helped companies navigate technical due diligence, achieve regulatory compliance, and build the operational maturity needed for enterprise success.

Working Together


I offer both advisory services and hands-on technical leadership to help companies accelerate their journey to enterprise-grade maturity. Every engagement starts with understanding your specific context and challenges through a free discovery call.
