Yhteenveto

An experienced Technology Director, I specialise in optimising the quality and productivity delivered by large cross-functional teams
(particularly agile mobile/web/backend development). I achieve
this through the collaborative engagement of management, clients,
senior engineers and other stakeholders to most efficiently achieve
business objectives through the implementation and maintenance of best practices, including:
☑ Agile/lean software development practices
☑ Highly automated CI/CD toolchains
☑ Modular development and containerisation
☑ Quality management tools and frameworks
☑ Self-maintaining management dashboards and workflows
☑ Matrix organisational structures
☑ Outsourcing
My experience comes from working on both the vendor side
developing business critical solutions for major brands (London
Heathrow Airport, Virgin, MCH Art Basel), and the customer side
(Cathay Pacific Airways, Telstra), managing outsourced projects
working with procurement and IT to select and contract vendors.
