Speaking & Podcast Enquiries

I speak on the strategic and technical challenges that CTOs and engineering leaders actually face - AI adoption that moves metrics, data platform architecture at scale, cloud cost discipline, and building high-output engineering teams. If you are putting together a conference, panel, or podcast, get in touch.

Case Studies

24/7 Operations & Workflow Efficiency

Case Study • Astronomer

24/7 operations on a global data pipeline. Moved from fragile, manual scheduling to fully orchestrated workflows. Latency dropped. On-call burden dropped with it.

Accelerated Disaster Response & Delivery

Case Study • GitLab

Disaster response data that previously took months to process now takes days. Architecture redesign, not tooling. GitLab was the delivery layer.

Enterprise Growth & Geospatial Platform

Case Study • Mapbox

Enterprise-scale geospatial data serving major clients. Rebuilt the data layer to handle volume without sacrificing query performance.

Monitoring & Reliability Implementation

Case Study • Uptime

Cut mean time to detection and reduced alert noise. Set up monitoring that the team actually trusted.

If you're facing a similar problem, let's talk.
