Engineering Leader & Scala Developer | AI Educator & Community Builder | Open Source Mentor

With over a decade of experience designing scalable backend systems using functional programming, I specialize in building resilient, high-availability platforms with Scala. At Sky, London, I led critical backend development using functional Scala to power large-scale operations.

A passionate contributor to the Scala ecosystem, I co-created LLM4S, a Scala-first AI platform, and have actively contributed to projects like Scala CLI and Scaladex. I serve as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Org Admin & Mentor (2024, 2025) with the Scala Center, mentoring contributors and helping grow the next generation of open source developers.
I also maintain several open source projects, including Scaladex, LLM4S, and various initiatives under Google Summer of Code.

I'm also building a global AI community focused on responsible and accessible AI development. I offer AI training and education for developers and teams – bridging the gap between functional programming and practical AI applications.
Currently collaborating with Manning Publishing, I'm developing learning resources to help engineers navigate the future of Generative AI.

As a seasoned international speaker, I’ve delivered talks in 8+ countries at events such as Scala Days, Google Open Source Conference, and Bay Area Scala Conference, engaging audiences on AI, functional programming, data engineering, and software design.

2023–2025:

• Bay Area Scala Conference (USA)
• Scala Days (Switzerland)
• Art of Scala (Warsaw)
• ScalaIO (Paris)
• Functional World (Poland)
• Google Summer Of Code Mentor Summits (California, Munich)
• Scala India
• Scala Workshop (Singapore)
• Dallas Scala Enthusiasts (Texas, USA)
• ...and more

Frequent speaker at:

• London Scala User Group
• Scalabridge (London)
• Google Open Source Conferences

I'm committed to mentoring developers, building inclusive communities, and advancing the global adoption of Scala, open source, and ethical AI.

Cheers to showing up every day, even when it's hard and becoming a little better each time. ✨
This photo from my first day at the Sky Sports Studio in 2022 serves as a reminder for me, progress isn’t always loud, but it’s always worth it. 💻🎾
Grateful for the journey so far, and trust in the universe for the path forward it's creating for me. 💫
