What I do

  • Cross-cutting frontends & design systems

    Shared components, pattern libraries, micro-frontends and composable architectures used across many products.

  • CMS & content architecture

    Headless and composable CMS, content modelling, and the move from monolithic to composable.

  • Brand sites & web experience

    Designing and governing the web experience of brands at scale.

  • eCommerce

    Enterprise commerce architecture, from after-sales platforms to commerce at scale.

  • AI & Machine Learning

    A PhD built on real ML models: I read AI from the inside, not from the hype.
