What this page does not claim
The claims above are limited to what the CV supports. To keep them honest:
- 300+ engineers is the size of the organisation affected by the migration, not a team I managed.
- The CV records measurable cost reduction without a percentage, so none is quoted here.
- Dyson was a client programme delivered through Deloitte Digital, not direct employment.
