About me

Intro

I love turning complex problems into simple, reliable products people enjoy using. Over 12+ years I've led teams and designed platforms used by millions, for Kering, Sonepar, SNCF and Chanel. For the past year I've been leading the delivery of an enterprise generative AI platform for a global group, covering multiple AI models, SSO and permissions, audit trails, EU AI Act compliance and brand-safety guardrails. I bring big-picture architecture, attention to detail, and a real drive to help teams
