About me
Mobile engineering leader with strong product instincts and two decades of experience in London tech. I’ve spent that time building iOS and Android products, leading teams, and improving delivery, commercial outcomes, and partner confidence.
More recently I’ve been helping mobile organisations adopt AI in ways that are useful and real.
Outside work, I am building Garnish, a personal podcast app, to deepen my understanding of full-stack development and the latest AI technologies.
I’m currently
Mobile Engineering, Product & AI Consultant
Mindera, 2025-present
#android #product #commercial #aiEnablement #swift #reactNative #kmp #consulting
I help teams shape mobile products, solve delivery problems, and make better engineering decisions across Android, iOS, React Native, and KMP, with a focus on practical delivery and commercial outcomes.
I stay close to the engineers and close to the code: pairing, writing code, and helping teams make clear platform decisions with limited time, data, and budget.
A growing part of my work is AI enablement. I help engineers, product teams, and clients turn AI from theory into working tools, agentic workflows, and better ways of delivering software.

I’ve been
Head of Mobile / Technical Product Owner
Travelex, 2023-2025
#android #reactNative #product #commercial #payments #swift
I led mobile at Travelex, first stabilising the native apps and then guiding the move to React Native.
I owned the roadmap, led a 14-person team, and worked closely with product, commercial, and operational stakeholders to improve both delivery and commercial outcomes.
I cut release cycles from quarterly to weekly, halved payment failure rates from 30% to 15%, improved a key conversion metric by 50%, and reduced onboarding drop-off from 35% to 8%.
I also led the delivery of the next-generation cross-platform app on time and within budget, while keeping security and regulatory compliance in place.

Working closely with product and marketing, we kept shipping and iterating quickly while the idea was still taking shape.

#swift #kotlin #CI/CD #architecture #iGaming

Introduced more product-led ways of working, cleaner architecture, and stronger engineering practices so the team could make better trade-offs and deliver with more consistency and confidence.
