About

Based in Switzerland, I operate at the intersection of technology strategy, insurance architecture, and humanitarian impact. My work focus is helping leaders navigate complex digital transformations, while my personal time is spent exploring the boundaries of AI, "vibe coding," and building tools that respect the user.

As a leader at Humanity First Switzerland, I'm committed to ambitious 2030 targets: providing clean water access, cataract surgeries, and quality education for over 50,000 people in regions like Zimbabwe and Pakistan.

Work

I turn complex intent into systems that work — technically, organizationally, and over time.

  • Technology Direction: Turning business intent into clear, executable technology decisions for banks and insurers operating under legacy and regulatory constraints.
  • Operating Capability: Helping organizations build Centres of Excellence that embed good decisions into repeatable delivery, not one-off transformation programs.
  • System Optimization: Improving real-world performance of complex platforms — including up to 60% runtime reductions in migration workflows through targeted automation.
  • Certifications: Guidewire ACE certified, SAFe 5 POPM
