IT Manager with a builder's mindset
Development to infrastructure, Windows to Linux — I enjoy the full stack of IT, with a particular passion for automation, security, and digital transformation.
I'm an IT Manager with a wide range of skills spanning development and infrastructure, across Windows and Linux, in a wide range of industries. This variety means I can talk fluently to developers, engineers, and the business alike — translating technical risk into practical decisions.
I have repeatedly showcased robust competency in leadership and digital transformation. Where others see tedious manual processes, I see an opportunity to automate — and I've repeatedly used automation to free teams to do more meaningful work.
Security is not an afterthought for me. Whether it's driving an ISO 27001 certification, establishing protocols against CIS benchmarks, or responding to an incident at 2am, I take ownership of protecting the people and data that rely on the systems I run.
