I took the scenic route into tech, and it made me a better engineer.

Before I ever wrote a line of code professionally, I spent six years running my family's food business. Managing suppliers, logistics, and customers under pressure taught me something no CS course could: how to solve real problems under real constraints. When I made the jump to tech, I brought that operator's mindset with me.

I earned my Computer Science diploma and started studying Mathematics at university, though I eventually chose to pursue hands-on engineering full-time. At HPE, over five years, I went from building IoT analytics platforms and contact center applications serving 200,000+ daily users to architecting cloud governance automation across 250+ AWS accounts — including migrating 600+ VPCs and saving $100s of thousands in network and cloud infrastructure costs.

At TrueLayer I worked on open banking infrastructure, delivering new payment and data integrations across Europe and improving resiliency across shared services. Now, at Lean Tree, I consult on platform engineering for a global luxury fashion e-commerce, building and maintaining a self-service Developer Platform and tools.

Right now, I'm focusing on how to make the most of AI by leveraging the guardrails and standardization provided by the platform.

On the side, I co-founded Miriaminfiore, an online flower shop I built with my wife in the past 5 years.
