15 years across enterprise networking, cloud architecture, and software engineering. Most infrastructure people don't write code. Most developers couldn't design a network. I do both.
I started in enterprise networking and security. Cisco routing and switching, SD WAN, firewalls, ISE, the lot. That turned into designing cloud platforms across Azure, AWS, and GCP: Landing Zones, Virtual WAN, hub and spoke, ExpressRoute, the full stack from governance down to NSG rules.
What makes me different is I also build things. Over the last year I put 1,000+ commits into production repositories in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Flutter. I write the Terraform, I build the CI/CD pipelines, I ship the code.
I have served as technical design authority on multi million pound transformation programmes and founded a startup from concept to working product. Comfortable presenting to a board or deep in a technical session with engineers.
Deep Cisco background spanning enterprise routing and switching, SD WAN, firewalls, ISE, and Software Defined Access. Designed secure, resilient networks for complex multi site environments.
End to end cloud architecture across Azure, AWS, and GCP. From Landing Zones and Virtual WAN to serverless platforms and containerised microservices. Governance, security, and cost optimisation built in from the start.
Not just infrastructure as code. Production software development in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Flutter. CI/CD pipelines, containerised deployments, and RESTful APIs. I write the code that runs on the platforms I design.
