Technical Product Manager

Humaniti

Humaniti helps consumers by providing a budgeting tool & cash for surveys.  It helps our customers by providing data insights.

I was Humaniti's first technical hire where I built the dev. team from scratch.  We released MVP (desktop) in 5 months, and then added mobile (iOS & Android) 6 weeks later.

Next phase was to take ownership of our internal processes and procedures.  I implement traditional Software Development practices (SCRUM etc.) and fill the product pipeline.

From there my focus was on scale & growth - increase velocity (more features more often) while reducing bug count,

Tech stack is AWS, Python, Angular & ionic with Postgres & Snowflake.

HR functions included recruitment and defining personal & team KPI's.

10 head count including Dev, Support & QA.

Data Team Leader (Publishing)

I help teams ship software that actually works - scalable, maintainable, and built to last. 

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve seen every software disaster imaginable - from legacy code, nobody dares to touch to cloud migrations that “should be easy”. My job? Keep teams focused, stakeholders informed, and software delivered- while still being hands one and without unnecessary drama.

My expertise is modernising legacy systems, integrating cloud solutions, and leading teams through complex software transitions. I’ve worked in startups, government, and large enterprises, where I focus on removing bottlenecks, streamlining development, and helping all do their best work.

Great software is as much about people as it is about technology. A good plan, clear priorities, and a team that understands the goal make all the difference. Whether it’s technical strategy, stakeholder alignment, or making tough decisions that keep projects moving, I thrive in bringing structure and clarity to software delivery.
