There, he led major platform initiatives that significantly improved efficiency, reliability, and developer velocity. His work included launching internal platform products that delivered up to 70% cost reductions, generating millions in annual savings. He also spearheaded initiatives in runtime optimisation, observability, AI enablement, and security enhancements to support acquisition and long-term scalability.
