Senior Systems Engineer
& Infrastructure Specialist

A high-performing Systems and Infrastructure Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and supporting enterprise-level environments for multinationals. I specialise in the end-to-end management of high-availability systems, from modernising on-premises virtualisation and storage to architecting robust Azure cloud ecosystems. As a firm believer in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation, I utilise Ansible, Terraform, and Python to drive workflow efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and deliver scalable, reproducible business results. My expertise spans the full Microsoft stack, where I have a proven track record of migrating legacy resources into Azure and Microsoft 365. This includes engineering secure identity solutions via Entra ID, modernising endpoint management with Intune, and ensuring seamless hybrid-cloud integration.
