Azure engineer with 7+ years across UK managed service providers, progressing from service desk to architectural advisory. Comfortable as the escalation point for complex issues and equally happy building from scratch with Terraform and CI/CD.
About
Experienced across infrastructure automation, networking, and security in multi-tenant environments. My MSP background has given me broad technology exposure and a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach — from building monitoring baselines in Terraform to leading security migrations and mentoring junior engineers through technical runbooks.
Currently developing a full-stack mobile app (Azure Functions, Cosmos DB) as a side project, and always looking for the next thing to build or break.
