Experience

Twenty years of building software, products and teams

My work has moved from test automation and hands-on product engineering to large-scale systems, technical mentoring, company building and production AI products.

I work comfortably across the whole path from an unclear business problem to architecture, implementation, deployment and continued operation.

That range came from repeatedly taking responsibility beyond a single part of the stack: making browser testing accessible to QA, supporting production and release workflows at Yelp, mentoring engineers, and now co-building products at Deliverists.IO.

The common thread is practical ownership. I make difficult technical decisions understandable and stay close enough to the implementation to know whether they work.

2012–2026

Thirteen years building and operating software at Yelp

Worked end to end across scalable web and mobile products, APIs, release engineering, internationalisation and production support.

The role also included mentoring engineers, technical interviews and improving the systems teams used to ship safely.

Built in 2009

Created a browser-testing platform that became a deployment gate

WatirCukeFM let non-technical QA record, run and review browser tests through a web interface before modern hosted CI platforms were common.

At Qype, the automated suite covered core product journeys: green meant ship; red meant fix it first.
