Executive Summary
I'm an Engineering Manager at ANZ, leading teams that build cloud-native software behind digital banking services used by millions of customers. My focus is on evolving these systems — reliability, observability, and developer experience — and on bringing agentic AI and LLM-assisted automation into the delivery lifecycle where it genuinely adds leverage: test generation, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop guardrails rather than automation for its own sake. I have deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and microservices, with a growing focus on applied and agentic AI, always anchored to production safety and quality.

Professional Experience
Engineering Manager
Aug 2025 – PresentANZ Banking Group
Melbourne, Australia • Leading the Enablement Engineering function for ANZ Digital Channels.
- ▸ Responsible for the engineering platforms and shared tooling that sit underneath banking, lending, and cross-product services, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and developer experience.
- ▸ Piloting agentic AI and LLM-assisted automation in everyday engineering workflows — test-case generation, scenario modelling, and natural-language interfaces over our tooling — paired with evaluation and human-in-the-loop checks so teams move faster without cutting corners.
- ▸ Designed and rolled out a custom Golang-based distributed performance engineering framework integrated with Cloud Run, Spanner, and OpenTelemetry, giving teams visibility into how systems behave under load — not just whether tests pass or fail.
- ▸ Led the development of shared test data and service simulation capabilities, including Golang-based CLI tools and Kafka/event-driven system simulation, which significantly reduced setup time and improved end-to-end coverage.
Chapter Lead - Engineering
Aug 2022 – Aug 2025ANZ Banking Group
Melbourne, Australia
- ▸ Led the engineering chapter responsible for quality and testing strategy across core banking domains — payments, accounts, transactions, cards, and statements — all built in Golang in a cloud-native environment.
- ▸ Shifted ownership of quality back to teams, moving away from “testing as a phase” toward testing as part of engineering.
- ▸ Integrated OpenTelemetry into our gRPC testing frameworks, giving us much better insight into failures and reducing time spent guessing where things broke.
- ▸ Modernised our service virtualisation capabilities, migrating legacy tooling to TypeScript on Cloud Run and extending it to support Kafka and event-driven workflows.
Senior Software Engineer
May 2020 – Aug 2022ANZ Banking Group
Melbourne, Australia
- ▸ Built service virtualisation solutions using serverless architectures to unblock teams and reduce dependency on unstable environments.
- ▸ Worked extensively with event-driven systems, including Kafka and Apache Beam, and built tooling to test those systems reliably.
- ▸ Built a testing framework for eventing architecture using confluent-kafka-go and Google Cloud Functions.
- ▸ Collaborated with SRE teams on monitoring and SLI/SLO definition, achieving 99.95% service availability.
Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)
Feb 2018 – May 2020SportsBet (BetEasy)
Melbourne, Australia • Mobile automation and AWS serverless testing
- ▸ Architected a mobile test automation framework for iOS and Android using Appium, reducing manual testing by 70%.
- ▸ Implemented AWS serverless testing infrastructure with Lambda and DynamoDB for load testing the sports betting platform.
- ▸ Developed a BDD framework with Cucumber achieving 85% automated coverage for critical user journeys.
- ▸ Led migration from Protractor to WebDriver for web automation, improving test stability by 45%.
