Emma’s story is anchored in two worlds that rarely meet: elite sport and enterprise transformation. While building a professional football career, she developed deep, practical expertise in large-scale programmes for FTSE and global brands. Her grounding across AI, ERP, CRM and HCM ecosystems positions her as a trusted partner to Microsoft, Dayforce and organisations that want to navigate transformation with discipline, risk awareness and genuine quality control.

She is known for a direct, engaging style that cuts through jargon and gets to the truth of how programmes succeed or fail. Her talks blend sharp insight with authenticity, humour and sports logic, giving both technical and functional audiences something they can use the moment they leave the room.

Her sporting pedigree shapes her perspective. She sees transformation through the same lens as high-performance football: preparation, drills and strategy come first, and shortcuts simply cost you later.

As a Subject Matter Expert, I operate at the intersection of agentic systems, large-scale data platforms, and real-time infrastructure, leading research and architecture for systems where data, equipment, and applications become active, self-governing entities.

My work focuses on defining and evolving agent-native system architectures that span cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. I design platforms where datasets, filesystems, equipment catalogs, and services own their workflows, lifecycle, and operational intent, enabling near real-time adaptation, autonomous coordination, and policy-driven execution.

I stay hands-on with the systems I design. I prototype, wire up, stress-test, and iterate on real platforms - often moving from whiteboard to running code, from UI interaction to control plane logic, from local experiments to production-grade infrastructure.

I work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers, not as isolated components but as a single system that must behave predictably under load, failure, and change. My focus is on making complex systems understandable, operable, and pleasant to evolve - for both humans and machines.

I build systems around reliability, security, and isolation by design, using declarative resource models, infrastructure-as-code, and custom controllers to map desired state into observable, governable reality. I actively integrate practices from AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering, ensuring that intelligent systems remain explainable, operable, and safe at scale.

A core strength of my work is designing near real-time telemetry, metrics, and event pipelines that operate across heterogeneous environments and process data at multi-terabyte scale. These pipelines are not treated as observability add-ons, but as first-class architectural primitives that enable feedback, learning, and adaptation.

My experience spans high-reliability and regulated domains, including finance, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and industrial automation. This includes architecting reactive financial systems, contributing to GxP-aligned MES platforms, and designing control and automation systems for semiconductor manufacturing and robotics, with deep experience in SECS/HSMS-based integrations.
