I'm offering
Highly experienced individual within the IT space, with many years in the industry starting as an entry-level engineer through to implementing intranet solution at a national broadcaster on to mobilising and managing the IT infrastructure and systems for a £6.5bn highways scheme in the UK.

I have extensive experience implementing digital transformation projects across the enterprise using technologies intelligently to create a positive impact across the business. As a Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure subject matter expert – I have experience across the spectrum to deliver small projects to broader paradigm-shifting solutions.
I am a key proponent of bringing teams together across organisations to build ‘Business DevOps’ teams that make work and process visible so that teams know what to do, when and often how to make it better.
