Profile
About
I am a London-based senior IT consultant specialising in Microsoft Azure, enterprise infrastructure and identity. My work sits where architecture meets delivery: shaping the technical direction, then staying close enough to the build to make sure it lands safely in production.
Across pharmaceutical, energy, healthcare and financial services I have led cloud migrations, rebuilt identity and endpoint estates, hardened security posture and stabilised platforms carrying business-critical workloads. I work comfortably with engineers and executives alike, translating technical risk into decisions leadership can act on.
Currently consulting at GSK on Azure cloud and infrastructure programmes, with prior engagements at Siemens Energy, BP, Philips and Lloyds.
