Fifteen years leading engineering teams across Asia, former CTO. I work where business strategy meets architecture: legacy migrations, cloud-native platforms, and the delivery process that keeps them honest.
Most engagements start with one of these and turn into another.
Taking a system that works but cannot change and moving it to something that can, without a two-year freeze. Microservices, event-driven, CQRS where it earns its keep.
Two-week sprints were built for a bottleneck that no longer exists. I install specification-driven delivery and gates that catch what review alone misses.
Shaping the org around the work: who decides architecture, who owns the definition of done, and how a steering meeting gets evidence instead of velocity.
A 29-page tactical manifesto for engineering leaders who feel the friction between legacy Agile ceremonies and modern AI coding tools.
Open to architecture and engineering leadership work in Hong Kong and remotely across Asia.
