WorkCareer timeline

Nine years of making software people actually use.

Most of my work sits at the same intersection - reducing the distance between an idea and a working product. The interesting part is rarely the interface alone. It is the pressure around it: scale, launch risk, revenue dependency, operational complexity, and whether the system still holds when it matters.

Delivered 4+ AI-powered campaign pipelines for a national consumer brand via a Tier-1 global agency - reaching tens of millions across multiple activations.
PM and product owner on a large-scale CRM for the UK debt industry - managing a team across a 15-month build, owning design direction and project finances.
Co-founded a digital product studio and led delivery of 50+ products over 5 years.
