I love working with high-performance teams to solve hard problems, and I’m a proud life long learner.

I’ve 30+ years experience as a software engineer and product manager and have held many different roles over the years: individual contributor, team lead, architect and Chief Technology Officer. I’ve seen a lot of stuff that works, and a lot of stuff that doesn’t work, and I use that depth of experience as I work on new problems.

I’ve worked at companies of all sizes, from a startup run out of an Edinburgh living room, to being one of 350,000 people at IBM. Software development is very much a team sport and I use both IQ and EQ to coach, lead and participate in high-performance teams.

I co-founded Clause.io which was acquired by Docusign in 2021, but prior to that I went through two other acquisitions (joining BEA Systems and IBM).

I’ve a background in Artificial Intelligence, and I’m fascinated by how we can best represent knowledge so that computers can efficiently assist humans in completing everyday, or mission critical tasks.

I’ve many years experience working with, and leading, Open Source communities and I sit on the Technical Steering Committee for Accord Project; an Open Source project under the Linux Foundation.
