I am a highly adaptable Information Systems Consultant who can bring together Project Management, Systems Architecture and Implementation to deliver successful projects from concept to completion whilst managing a constantly evolving BAU environment.
Despite being DevOps since the phrase was coined and managing Cloud Services since around the same time, I'm also an expert at Audio Visual design, management, commissioning and programming with many years of experience in these areas.
I’m not a believer in “jack of all trades, master of none”, and vocationally I’m really interested in the overlap between traditionally separate processes and systems. I’ve tried to maximise my exposure to any and all technology that is interesting or of benefit, and to explore the synergies between different areas of IT and indeed beyond.
Ubiquitous connectivity, consumerisation and cloud computing are all contributing to an exciting and evolving technology landscape that I'm thrilled to be part of.
