Code. Lead. Evolve.

At Dyson, your career doesn’t just progress, it evolves. Over the past ten years, mine has grown from writing code as a Mobile Developer to leading cross-platform teams and representing Dyson’s app as an Architect in forums.

One of the biggest shifts in my career came from a mentor who challenged me to think bigger—not just about the code, but the principles that I follow and the difference that I’m striving for. That mindset helped me grow into my current role, where I help define technical standards and advocate for our app’s architecture at a strategic level.

I’m a software engineer at heart. I enjoy clean, purposeful code and staying close to the technology. Over more than five years, my role has evolved to encompass leadership, architectural responsibilities, and engineering direction, allowing me to push the boundaries of my original position.

I’ve been through a lot of change: transitioning from Java to Kotlin, opportunities like flying to Google IO in Silicon Valley, working with the app team in Singapore and growing alongside Dyson’s expanding tech landscape. I’ve learned how to lead, sharpened my architectural and design skills, and how to stay adaptable in an environment that never stops moving.

A typical day for me starts with dropping the kids off at school. I’m thankful Dyson gives me the flexibility to do so. Mornings are generally reserved for meetings with colleagues in Singapore, including project syncs, presentations, and mentoring sessions. These are followed by team meetings, daily stand-ups, and refinements. After lunch, I am typically involved in any technical planning, one-to-ones with my reports, code reviews, and occasionally prototyping and coding.

If there’s one thing I’d pass on, it’s this: challenge what you don’t understand, but be ready to listen, learn, and evolve. Questions are welcomed, so that you can use the answers to grow.
