I am a highly experienced Principal Oracle Solution Architect at Version 1, working within the Office of the CTO, specialising in Oracle database platforms, cloud transformation, Exadata, and enterprise architecture. Throughout my career, I have successfully led and delivered complex, business-critical transformation programmes for some of the world's leading organisations, helping clients modernise their Oracle estates, embrace cloud technologies, and maximise the value of their technology investments. Recognised as both an Oracle Certified Master (OCM) and Oracle ACE Pro, I possess extensive expertise across Oracle Database, Oracle Exadata, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA), Real Application Clusters (RAC), Disaster Recovery (DR), High Availability (HA), and large-scale migration and modernisation initiatives. My experience spans on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, including OCI, Oracle Database@AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). In my role, I work closely with executive stakeholders, architects, and delivery teams to define target-state architectures, shape cloud and transformation strategies, provide technical leadership and governance, and deliver innovative solutions that align technology investments with business objectives. I am passionate about solving complex challenges, building trusted client relationships, and driving successful outcomes through a combination of technical excellence, strategic thinking, and collaborative leadership. Beyond my client engagements, I am an active member of the Oracle community, serving as a UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG) Board Member and Technology Member Advocate. I regularly speak at UKOUG, Oracle, and industry conferences on topics including cloud transformation, Oracle Exadata, database modernisation, multi-cloud strategy, artificial intelligence, and enterprise architecture. I am passionate about sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to the continued advancement of the Oracle ecosystem.
