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.

Engineering leader with over a decade of experience in software development and a proven track record of leading teams through modernisation initiatives, high-pressure deliveries, and the kind of challenges where the easy answer doesn't exist. I stay close to architecture and strategy not to make every decision, but to protect my teams, challenge the right assumptions, and represent engineering credibly at every level.

I care deeply about psychological safety and technical rigour — because I believe the best work happens when people feel ownership, trust each other, and know their manager is fully in it with them.

I actively experiment with emerging technologies — including AI tools — to understand their real value before adopting them at scale. Less hype, more signal.
Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies, author of "Software Architecture for Web Developers" book, and international speaker with 50+ conference appearances — because sharing what we learn is part of the job.
