In 2008, he moved to Australia for an intensive stint in molecular gastronomy, followed by Chef de Cuisine roles in Switzerland and India.

He then moved to China, where he worked with a number of leading luxury hotels, including Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen, and rapidly worked his way up to Executive Chef.
