Where your boldest technology bets ship, scale, and pay off
Most ventures stall between vision and shipped product. I close that gap. Across 24 years - as an IBM program executive owning P&L and delivery, an enterprise architect, and a founder - I have led AI, cloud, and regulated fintech work from strategy to production across Australia, the UK, and Hong Kong.
A record of platforms built, transformations delivered, and systems trusted with money, compliance, and scale.
Engaged to redesign core workflows for a professional law firm with AI, mapping high-effort manual processes to safe, auditable AI-assisted flows. Grounded in an ISO 42001 AI-management-system approach, so adoption comes with governance, risk controls, and clear accountability - not just tooling.
Founded and led the platform end to end: product vision, cloud-native AWS architecture, and full-stack delivery across iOS, Android, Spring Boot, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Scaled to 100% weekly user growth while holding 99.9% availability with Terraform, CI/CD, and Grafana and Prometheus observability.
Acted as client CTO for signature Hong Kong organisations serving 100K members. Designed multi-year hybrid-cloud transformation across AWS and Azure, Zero-Trust security aligned to HKMA and SFC, and a 360-degree customer data platform.
Built the infrastructure and DevOps function from the ground up for an SFC-regulated digital asset platform. Architected resilient, secure AWS environments and custody systems on Zero-Trust principles, with 24/7 DR, BCP, and incident management for mission-critical trading and settlement.
As an IBM program executive in Hong Kong, owned P&L and contract delivery for financial-services clients. Led architecture teams delivering to global OTT clients, and across fifteen years architected US$60M transformation programs, managing HK$20M budgets and distributed teams of 80 with 20% cost reduction.
From roadmap and emerging-tech evaluation to shipping production AI features, data pipelines, and full-stack applications.
Scalable, secure, cost-disciplined design across AWS, Azure, and hybrid, with infrastructure-as-code and reliability engineering.
Zero-Trust architecture and governance for regulated environments, aligned to HKMA, SFC, PDPO, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS - and, as an ISO 42001 Lead Implementer, responsible AI-management systems.
Board advisory and executive training that turn AI ambition into adoption: operating-model change, governance, and workforce enablement, grounded in ISO 42001.
Translating business objectives into technology decisions for founders, CEOs, and boards, with hands-on delivery when it counts.
Perspectives on agentic AI, enterprise adoption, and what technology leaders should do now.
Two decades across startups, enterprise, and global technology firms.
You have the ambition; what's missing is the person who has shipped it before. Bring me in as fractional CTO, advisor, or hands-on builder, and let's move your AI, cloud, or fintech idea from concept to production.
