Over two decades of enterprise work - from intelligent data platforms and cloud transformations to large-scale infrastructure modernisation. Here are some of the highlights, and the career behind them.
These represent the engagements I'm most proud of - not because they were the biggest, but because they made a real difference.
Leading enterprise architecture initiatives for CAEVES Technology's AI-powered platform. The work covers intelligent data platform design, cloud transformation strategy, automation frameworks, and governance standards - all focused on helping customers navigate complex digital and AI-driven transformations.
What makes this engagement meaningful is the balance: integrating genuine AI capabilities where they add real value, while keeping the foundations solid and sustainable.
Served as the lead technical interface between NetApp and strategic enterprise customers and partners across EMEA. Shaped cloud and hybrid architectures, translated complex business requirements into feasible solution designs, and worked cross-functionally across pre-sales and delivery teams.
This role was about making sure designs didn't just look good on slides - they actually worked when deployed at scale.
Architected cloud and hybrid deployments for customers across multiple verticals. Built monitoring and reporting solutions, designed DR strategies, and served as the AWS specialist for NetApp's hybrid and cloud teams across EMEA.
The highlight was helping organisations find the right balance between cloud-native ambition and real-world operational constraints.
End-to-end solutions engineering for enterprise customers focused on data centralisation, automation, and unstructured data integration. Worked with some of the largest Global 2000 organisations across data-intensive verticals including architecture, engineering, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Built automation workflows using PowerShell and Azure Automation, and designed provisioning portals that replaced hours of manual work with a few clicks.
Designed and delivered enterprise document management, workflow automation, and system integrations for a major international mining operation. Built integrations between GIS, JDE, and SharePoint for centralised metadata and reporting across the business.
Delivered ISO-compliant management systems (ISO 9001, 14001, OSHAS 45001) and won recognition as top local speaker at Share Conference 2015.
