Head of Engineering · Herdwatch · Limerick, Ireland

I build teams and systems that last.

Founder turned engineering leader. I've scaled products from 0 to acquisition, built teams from first hire to 20 engineers, and spent 15 years learning what makes software and people endure.

First engineer to Head of Eng

Founder first

Started my first company at 17. Learned to build products, teams, and companies from zero — before it was fashionable.

Engineer at heart

From GW Basic on a PC in Pakistan to leading 20 engineers at a VC-backed SaaS through acquisition. The code never stopped.

Leader by growth

Built VetDrive from 1 engineer to 16, 6 clinics to 130+, then led the integration into Herdwatch. Scale changes everything.
