CockroachDB is a cloud-native distributed SQL database built for global scale, resilience, and consistency. - Slashed enterprise onboarding time by 40x, single-handedly designing and chartering a Customer Workload Intake Program that turned a weeks-long bottleneck into a same-cycle process, directly accelerating new customer revenue and existing account expansion. - Governed a 300-node distributed scale-testing program safeguarding 2TB+ of enterprise workloads, delivering zero production regressions on infrastructure that enterprise SLAs depended on. - Cut milestone slippage by 40% by rebuilding dependency governance and Jira hygiene from the ground up across multiple engineering teams, giving leadership real-time visibility into risk that previously surfaced too late to act on. - Built the executive dashboard leadership relied on every quarter to make go or no-go calls on reliability, upgrades, and performance programs, turning fragmented data into decisions. - Aligned engineering and SRE milestones directly to enterprise SLA commitments, protecting revenue on accounts where a single missed milestone carried real customer risk. - Owned architectural dependency management across large-scale distributed systems, removing the cross-team blockers that would otherwise have stalled mission-critical releases.

Owned Cawaena, a two-sided Web3 content rights marketplace and payments platform built on IOTA, from undefined problem space to production launch. WEB3 AND PAYMENTS • Shipped PostIdent identity onboarding, hybrid fiat and crypto rails, and in-house wallet custody with 12-word recovery phrase alongside MetaMask linking. • Designed the dual-transaction model: buyers reward a creator with no rights transfer, or buy copyright at a quoted price, settled on-chain by smart contract. APPLIED AI AND LLM • Architected an LLM transaction integrity layer synthesising identity documents, wallet chain analytics, sanctions and PEP screening and device signals into one compliance case file, surfacing contradictions and drafting source-cited rationales under EU crypto-asset regulation. Approve or reject stayed with the human compliance officer. • Specified a multimodal embedding similarity screen at listing ingest, catching misappropriated work before an irreversible on-chain copyright transfer could be minted. • Defined evaluation and model lifecycle discipline: groundedness scored above false-accept rate, golden eval sets, six-week shadow mode, versioned prompt and model rollback, drift monitoring on reviewer override rate. • Hard guardrail: no assistant path could solicit or handle a recovery phrase or private key. DELIVERY • Owned the multi-quarter roadmap and prioritisation model across distributed engineering, design and marketing teams. • MVP shipped in six months. Cycle time down 70%. Engagement up 20%. Focus: Web3 product ownership, applied AI and LLM agent architecture, regulated-market compliance

About

Technical Product Manager with 12+ years of experience leading 0-to-1 platform strategy, distributed database workloads (300-node scale, 1.2PB+ data), and AI-driven transaction systems. Specialist in transforming complex engineering pain points into high-adoption developer platforms and reliable cloud infrastructure. Open to global relocation (UK, EU, APAC). Every product I have touched in the last 12 years has shipped because someone made sure engineering, delivery, and business outcomes stayed aligned under pressure. That someone has usually been me. My career started in QA and test engineering at Freshworks and Oracle, where I learned how products actually break before they reach a user. That foundation shaped everything that came after. I moved into Technical Program Management at Deca Games, owning release governance and observability across a portfolio of games spanning Europe, North America, and APAC. At Zynga, I led release readiness for CSR2, a AAA mobile racing game with 7M+ daily active users, protecting revenue-critical live events. At ETO Gruppe, I drove product and release execution for a Web3 marketplace platform, contributing to 20 percent user engagement growth and 30 percent revenue growth. Most recently at Cockroach Labs, I governed reliability and infrastructure programs for enterprise-scale distributed systems. Across every one of these roles, the common thread has been the same: taking ambiguous, high-stakes environments and turning them into predictable delivery, measurable outcomes, and products people can actually rely on. I am a Certified Scrum Master and Google AI Certified Professional, and today I am looking to bring this full-spectrum experience, from QA rigor to release governance to product execution, into Technical Program Manager, Technical Product Owner and Technical Product Manager roles.
