🔧 What I Do

I help engineering organisations adopt cloud platforms securely and at scale. Over 10 years, I've progressed from QA automation → API development → platform engineering — driven by one pattern: seeing what slows teams down and building the tooling to fix it.

📊 90+ teams enabled on shared platforms
🚀 400+ applications deployed on AKS
👥 1,800 engineers using our developer portal
🔒 Leading cloud security enablement (Private Endpoints, Zero Trust)

☁️ Current Focus

  • Platform Enablement — Internal Developer Platforms, golden paths, self-service infra
  • Cloud Security — Private Endpoints, Managed Identity, Azure Policy, network segmentation
  • IaC at Scale — Terraform modules adopted across enterprise portfolios
  • Developer Experience — Backstage portals, scaffolding templates, CI/CD standardisation
