Service Transition
Offshore Patching Transition
Planned and led the transfer of routine infrastructure patching to an offshore provider while managing security, knowledge-transfer, cultural and time-zone challenges.
Infrastructure • Technical Leadership • Project Delivery
Engineering reliable infrastructure throughleadership and practical delivery.
I combine more than 20 years of infrastructure and operational experience with technical leadership, stakeholder coordination, structured delivery and continual development across cloud, containers, monitoring, automation and security.

Project Delivery Highlights
Technical change delivered through planning and coordination.
My experience includes defining technical requirements, coordinating teams and suppliers, managing dependencies and risks, supporting implementation and ensuring successful operational handover.
02
Infrastructure Change
IT Environment Separation
Coordinated technical workstreams and third-party suppliers to separate a shared IT environment so two organisations could operate independently.
03
Technical Delivery
DrayTek SIM Upgrade Programme
Provided technical leadership and escalation support during a structured upgrade programme affecting deployed network equipment.
04
Service Improvement
Grafana Monitoring Proof of Concept
Developed and communicated a monitoring proof of concept to improve service visibility, operational understanding and proactive support.
Engineering Philosophy
Successful delivery combines technology, planning and communication.
My approach is to build solutions that are secure, observable, maintainable and well documented.
Technical success depends on more than implementation. It requires clear objectives, stakeholder alignment, risk management, effective communication and a controlled transition into operational support.
I aim to leave every platform, process and team in a stronger position than before the work began.
Engineering Journey
Two decades of infrastructure experience and continual development.
From first-line support and enterprise UNIX systems through technical leadership, cloud platforms, containers, observability and security.
