Cloud & Infrastructure Architect
I design infrastructure, then build and run it.
Cloud and infrastructure architect with over 15 years across EMEA and the GCC. I design resilient hybrid-cloud environments, and I build and run them too.
What I do
My core depth is virtualisation, storage and networking, grown over time into data, application and security architecture. I turn vague business and regulatory requirements into resilient, highly available designs, then take the risk out of them with proof-of-concept work. Right now I also operate a live production data platform I architected on my own.
I lead teams comfortably, but the core of my week has to be technical. I am at my best designing or making something, and I can hold my own in an engineering design review or in front of a board.
