AI – Native Solutions Architect with over 20 years of infrastructure expertise and a specialised focus on Generative AI. Recognised as an Early Adopter of the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional, demonstrating elite proficiency in architecting RAG pipelines and agentic workflows. Complementing the AWS Certified AI Practitioner exam with a perfect score, bridging the gap between deep-tier DevOps/Networking and cutting-edge AI implementation driving secure, scalable innovation
Leadership – Resilient leader skilled in resolving complicated scenarios through informed, data-driven decision-making. I foster trust-based environments for global teams and mentor individuals to optimise collective performance and operational success.
Cloud – Expert in architecting AI-native and hybrid cloud platforms with a focus on scalability and performance. Specialist in Kubernetes (EKS/Self-hosted) orchestration and microservices, leveraging AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud to drive GenAI innovation. I build robust CI/CD/MLOps pipelines using GitLab to accelerate secure product delivery.
Operational Excellence & Governance – A strategic leader who integrates rigorous project management (Prince2) with high-trust stakeholder and vendor relationships to deliver large-scale digital transformations. I ensure all solutions are underpinned by world-class service standards and absolute compliance with GDPR, ISO27K, and JSOX frameworks, consistently driving measurable commercial value within tight deadlines and budgets.
Enterprise Networking & Unified Communications – Highly advanced, CCNP-level mastery of Voice/Data WAN/LAN architectures. I possess deep-tier expertise in high-end routing, switching, and security (Cisco, F5, Checkpoint) alongside specialised knowledge in SBCs (Acme/Sonus), SIP, and WebRTC. I have designed and scaled resilient communication infrastructures from the ground up, ensuring high availability and QoS across global networks.
Systems Engineering & Hybrid Virtualisation – Over two decades of expertise managing the evolution of enterprise systems, from Linux (Debian, RedHat, Alpine) to the full Microsoft ecosystem (NT4 through Server 2024). I am a seasoned expert in virtualization and orchestration spanning VMware, Proxmox, and KVM to OpenStack bridging the gap between legacy on-premises environments and modern cloud-native architectures.
Full-Stack Architecture & Data Centre Operations – Longstanding expertise in hardware and physical infrastructure, with a proven ability to architect and troubleshoot the entire stack from the silicon to the application layer. This includes extensive experience with Blade servers (Cisco, HP, Dell), SAN storage (Equalogic), and complex web/database environments (Nginx, JBoss, PostgreSQL), ensuring maximum performance and reliability for business-critical systems.
