About

Who I Am

I’m a Cloud Services Specialist and Infrastructure Engineer with over 15 years in IT, working across Microsoft 365 Services, Cloud (Azure & AWS), Identity, and Security.

Over the years, I’ve grown into leading Enterprise Cloud operations and Identity services, helping organisations design, secure, and scale their digital environments with confidence. I enjoy staying close to the tech while also thinking strategically - building systems that don’t just work today, but are resilient, well-governed, and ready for whatever comes next.

What I Do

• Design and operate Cloud platforms across Azure and AWS.
• Lead Identity and Access architecture (SSO, IAM, Zero Trust, etc).
• Deliver secure Microsoft 365 and Endpoint Manager (Intune) environments.
• Drive Cloud Governance, Compliance, and Cybersecurity Assurance
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and automation at scale

How I Think

• I break complexity into clean, modular systems.
• I design for scale, failure, and recovery.
• At the same time, I always treat security as a foundation, not a feature.
• I strive to build with long-term sustainability in mind.
• Endeavoring to automate anything that repeats twice.

What I’m Focused On

• Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering.
• Identity-first security models.
• Secure hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Scalable, production-grade infrastructure.

What I’m Looking For

I’m open to opportunities where I can:

• Leverage my skills to solve meaningful Infrastructure and Cloud challenges.
• Contribute to modern, forward-thinking Engineering teams.
• Support organisations through cloud transformation initiatives.
• Take on freelance or consulting work delivering secure and scalable solutions.
