Background
Enterprise-focused Cloud Architect with 20+ years’ experience shaping technology direction across complex environments. Specialising in Azure, Microsoft platforms, and hybrid architectures, I guide solution decisions that balance business priorities with scalability, security, and cost across applications, integration, and cloud platforms, including roadmaps and investment decisions.
AI consultant who uses AI daily to evaluate capabilities and identify practical business opportunities. Previously led service management automation through DevSecOps and platform engineering. I engage senior stakeholders, mentor teams, and drive continuous improvement so technology stays fit for purpose and aligned to business outcomes.
Location
I live in Aotearoa New Zealand in the South Island, a beautiful place.
Writing reflects the location and my perspective. New Zealand has a unique culture and perspective on life and nature with diverse landscapes and communities that are reflected in the posts.
