Agent-First Delivery Model
ActiveSignificant cycle time reduction
Designed and rolled out an agent-first delivery model across multiple engineering teams. Engineers work at the architecture and verification layer while AI agents handle implementation. Full agentic development, not just copilot-style autocomplete. Force multiplication, not linear scaling.
Partner AI Data Mapping
Shipped60% effort reduction
Built a POC comparing a trained ML model against an agent-based approach for automating partner data mapping. Chose agents for maintainability, explainability, and FCA regulatory compliance over the technically impressive trained model. Reduced integration effort by 60% across multiple verticals.
DNI Cross-Platform Release
Shipped300+ engineers, zero downtime
Led delivery of inclusive language changes (Mx titles, non-gendered job roles) across every product journey and partner integration. Coordinated 300+ engineers for a zero-downtime release under FCA pressure. Inherited a slipping programme six months before go-live. Introduced rehearsals, runbooks, and premortems.
Partner Onboarding Dashboard
ShippedVisibility without bottlenecks
Built a live stakeholder dashboard for the money vertical, making partner onboarding progress visible without engineers becoming the communication bottleneck. Partners tracked through onboarding stages with blockers and owners. Removed myself as the single point of failure for status updates.
Home Insurance Auto-Fill
