Over 18 years working at the intersection of cloud architecture, technology governance, and operational risk - most recently at Microsoft, and before that as a Principal Specialist at AWS where I led the EMEA Containers business.

My focus has shifted from purely technical delivery toward the harder problems: why well-run organisations still get caught out by platform retirements, service dependency drift, and governance gaps that look manageable until they aren’t. I build frameworks and tooling to make those risks visible and tractable - including a structured approach to Azure service retirement that I developed while working with one of the UK’s largest financial infrastructure firms.

I write about cloud governance, operational resilience, and technology risk - mostly aimed at the people who have to make decisions under uncertainty rather than the people who implement them.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, cycling, skiing, SCUBA diving, and building Lego.
