About

Engineering leader, Azure architect, AI-first in delivery.

Cloud engineering manager with a decade in Azure, leading delivery for regulated enterprises across finance, public sector and logistics. I architect and engineer Azure platforms and embed AI-augmented delivery on top, making AI tooling production-safe at organisational scale — equally at home in the architecture review and the commercial conversation about what to build and what it's worth.

Engineering Leadership

Building, growing, and steering cloud engineering teams; running architecture reviews and shaping delivery across enterprise accounts.

How I work with AI

Spec-first

Clear intent and acceptance criteria — not just clever prompts.

Pair, never autopilot

AI accelerates engineers; humans stay on the critical path.

Compliance from day one

Governance, licensing and data boundaries baked into the workflow.

Measurable uplift

Track delivery time and quality — replace gut feel with numbers.
