Let’s talk about APIs
I’m a Technical Product Manager for IBM API Connect, with nearly twenty years in integration. I started in operations and SRE before moving into architecture and now product, and I’m interested in how APIs are designed, how systems behave under pressure, and how to make the reliable path the easy one.
Get in touch about API product and developer experience, architecture, SRE, speaking, a project, or simply to compare notes.
Send me a message
I read everything that comes through, and I’m happy to talk about APIs – from product management and developer experience to architecture and SRE – or the tools I’ve built around them.

From the platform team to API consumers to AI agents, knowing what is happening across your API — and building that in from the start — is what gives you confidence when things go wrong in production.
