Selective technology leadership and due diligence work between operating roles, focused on SaaS platform scaling, AI adoption in production, and architecture decision-making. Actively pursuing a long-term CTO or VP Engineering operating role. * Technology due diligence and architecture assessments for scaling SaaS platforms. * Advisory on platform scaling, AI adoption in production, and engineering organisation decisions under growth pressure.

CTO of a multi-tenant SaaS workforce management platform serving 5,000+ customers and 1M+ users across Europe in regulated environments. Owned platform architecture, engineering organisation, AI strategy, reliability, and compliance during ~40% YoY growth. * Scaled engineering organisation from ~40 to ~70 across product, platform, and infrastructure teams while maintaining delivery continuity through rapid growth. * Reduced incident resolution time (MTTR) by ~70–85% and significantly reduced major production incidents through observability, reliability engineering, and clearer ownership boundaries. * Drove platform evolution from monolith toward modular cloud architecture, including migrations across 5,000+ customer databases without disrupting delivery. * Set the AI direction for the company and shipped AI-driven workforce forecasting into production, including ML pipelines and operational AI capabilities. * Translated platform investments into business cases for CFO/CCO leadership, including a targeted €400K refactor that delivered ~€2.5M annualised value within the year. * Operated under GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements while supporting enterprise customer growth across European markets.

Executive-level technology leadership in mission-critical environments across energy, infrastructure, and aviation, where technology decisions had immediate operational and commercial impact. * Co-created and led SYNERTA, an AI-driven simulation platform for executive decision-making, deployed with enterprise clients including Enexis and PostNL. * Managed technology initiatives across AI, simulation, automation, and operational resilience, moving capabilities from concept into production environments. * Led executive resilience exercises covering ransomware and infrastructure-failure scenarios to improve operational readiness under pressure. * Contributed to enterprise security and technology governance initiatives in collaboration with Gartner and senior leadership stakeholders.

Progressed from senior engineering through architecture and technical consulting roles across complex industrial and enterprise systems. * Delivered large-scale systems for enterprise clients including SKF, Volvo Cars, Baker Hughes, and Technip. * Acted as Product Owner and technical lead for Quantum Inspire, one of Europe’s first public quantum computing platforms. * Led multiple R&D initiatives across AI/ML, HPC, simulation, and industrial software systems. * Introduced AI/ML capabilities into industrial simulation and predictive maintenance environments.

Mission-critical software engineering in EUV lithography systems, where reliability, precision, and operational continuity were non-negotiable. * Developed high-performance embedded software for EUV lithography systems. * Improved diagnostics and recovery mechanisms in production environments. * Contributed to architecture decisions balancing performance, precision, and reliability constraints.

Distributed systems and high-performance computing for large-scale scientific simulations in particle physics research. * Built distributed simulation systems across multi-node HPC clusters. * Developed Monte Carlo simulation frameworks and scalable data-processing pipelines. * Improved large-scale simulation performance by ~70% and contributed to peer-reviewed scientific publications.
