Technology Generalist with Commercial Insight

As a technology generalist with over 20 years of experience, I specialise in cloud technology, infrastructure, and development. My strength lies not in narrow specialisation, but in being a quick learner and pragmatic problem solver who can navigate the full technology landscape.

My background is somewhat unusual in technology - I started in commercial roles before transitioning into technology and operations. This foundation allows me to truly understand business considerations and communicate effectively with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.

I love technology, but I'm driven by solving real business problems. Whether it's architecting robust infrastructure, leading technical teams, or driving strategic transformation, I bring a practical, commercially-aware approach that ensures technology serves business objectives.
