Based in the South West of the UK. Three-time Microsoft Security MVP and member of the Microsoft Security Advisors Programme. Work mostly sits across Entra, Sentinel, Defender, Purview and Intune.
Day job is running a presales and solutions team at a UK Microsoft partner. That means a lot of real customer deployments, architecture sessions, and the kind of problems that don't show up in the documentation. A fair bit of time goes on Sentinel cost work, Conditional Access design, and MXDR service architecture.
Writes at Cloud Security Insider about the Microsoft security stack, mostly the bits that aren't on the marketing slides. Builds the odd open source tool when something gets annoying enough to fix — a Sentinel cost calculator and a posture analysis tool so far. Also mentors community speakers through the MVP programme.
Has spoken at Microsoft Ignite and a few community events around the UK and Europe. Usually turns up with opinions and a working demo.
