AAbout

I turn emerging technologies into products that have to work in the real world.

I'm an AI, product, and engineering leader with more than 20 years building and scaling large, regulated, high-impact systems across digital infrastructure, financial services, SaaS, telecom, and consumer technology.

Today I am Head of AI, Innovation & Incubation at Equinix in London. I lead the incubation of new products and capabilities across AI/ML, hybrid cloud, energy, and next-generation technologies - finding market opportunities, accelerating experimentation, and taking ideas from concept to scalable, customer-centric outcomes.

"Not replacing human thinking - but figuring out where machine intelligence genuinely helps, and where it quietly makes things worse if nobody's paying attention."

Previously, I was Senior Director of Software Engineering at JPMorganChase, leading more than 200 engineers modernising EMEA and APAC payments. The work included AI-enhanced decisioning, real-time fraud detection, intelligent payment routing, and continuous risk scoring in a highly regulated environment.

Before that, I led around 150 engineers across BT.com, EE.co.uk, and their mobile platforms, and built a 100+ person distributed engineering organisation for Zendesk from Singapore.

I live in Maidenhead with my wife and our daughter. The UK is home, not a stepping stone. Outside work I write, speak, and try to mentor engineering leaders who are figuring out what AI actually means for their teams.
