About

I'm an engineering leader with 20 years in technology, from system administration in Greece to leading Site Reliability Engineering teams at Google in London. Today I design engineering organisations made up of multiple teams, and lead products that generate hundreds of millions to billions in revenue. I focus on reliability at scale, and on using AI to build teams that deliver results and stay healthy.

I see myself as a servant leader. My goal is to create safe environments where engineers can fall and rise up stronger.

Culture first

Technical challenges are easier to overcome than cultural ones. People do their best work when they feel safe, empowered and included.

Measure what matters

Bring order to chaos by making the unmeasurable measurable, and let data drive change.

Decide close to the work

Decentralised decision-making, streamlined processes, and no siloed leadership.

Reliability & AI

Reliability, performance and governance at scale, with AI helping teams deliver faster without burning out.
