Executive Summary
Technical Architect and former CTO with 15+ years leading engineering teams and partnering with business
leaders across Asia.
I specialize in modernizing legacy ecosystems, designing cloud‑native,
event‑driven architectures,
and aligning technology decisions with commercial priorities, regulatory constraints, and
operational realities.
I operate at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution—translating
complex requirements into
scalable systems, shaping product direction, and enabling organizations to deliver faster with lower
risk. Known for
cross‑functional influence, I help business, product, and engineering teams converge on
clear decisions,
predictable delivery, and measurable outcomes.
