About
Leadership and hands-on delivery — Laravel-certified, with a decade steering technical strategy for an international distribution business and a long-running API product.
Narrative
I’m a technical leader who still ships code. My recent chapter was CTO / Lead Developer at Molekula, where I owned architecture, delivery, infrastructure, and team growth across time zones and compliance-heavy domains. Alongside that, I’ve built and run XAPI, a subscription API used by thousands of developers worldwide.
I care about coherent systems — fewer tools, clearer data, faster onboarding — and about kind, direct communication with non-technical stakeholders.
How I work
- Stakeholders: translate goals into phased delivery; say no to protect throughput.
- Remote teams: async-first, clear expectations, mentoring into ownership.
- Incidents: stabilise, communicate, then fix root cause — no heroics that hide debt.
- Engineering: Laravel-first, testable boundaries, observability, and docs that age well.
