Close to two decades across PeopleSoft, SAP SuccessFactors, and Workday. Co-founded E1 Consulting, grew an engineering team from zero to thirty. I build where I see gaps — on platform extensions, as standalone SaaS, or with AI.

What I think about HR technology

Enterprise HR platforms are broad but shallow. The gap between what they ship and what organisations actually need is not shrinking — but AI is changing who can close it, and how fast.
