About Me
I'm a Lead Consultant and Global IT Manager with over 20 years professional
experience specialising in all things infrastructure.
Starting off with traditional free standing servers
technology moved quickly on to virtualised servers where
I gained vast amounts of experience with VMware and
Hyper-V to name but two. With technology never standing
still environments moved on to the cloud where I
successfully deployed global solutions on AWS, UK Cloud,
Google Compute and Azure. During my successful career so
far I have led service desks and deployed complete
global environments to both companies I've worked for
internally and externally for their clients. When
working directly for clients I have deployed elastically
scaling public cloud platforms for many UK and
Australian Government departments along with major
private FTSE 100 companies. Regularly travelling
throughout the UK and once travelling to Australia with
2 days notice means of course I'm pretty flexible in
this area! I'm very accustomed to working under tight
SLA's within internal service desk environments and also
leading agile work streams directly with clients. My
experience with the latter involves assembling and
leading teams, sprint planning to ensure goals and use
cases are met then replaying the whole sprint back to
the client in retrospectives. When I'm not doing all
this cool technical stuff I'm most likely going back in
time either listening to vinyl records or playing retro
games on my raspberry pi . I look forward to connecting
with you soon!
