📋 Biography

After over a decade of making tech work for real people, I’ve got no time for jargon or half-baked fixes. If it can be automated, I’ll automate it. If it can be made simpler, I’ll figure out how. I've worked with everyone from cloud-first startups to heavily regulated giants in finance, legal, energy and defence, helping teams get the most out of Azure without the drama. Whether it’s automating the boring stuff, building secure platforms, or just making sure nothing falls over at the weekend, I’m here to make Azure less painful and more productive. Always happy to connect with anyone who wants to talk shop or share a laugh about cloud chaos.
