Infrastructure & Cloud Specialist | Technical Consultant

Senior Infrastructure and Cloud specialist with 18+ years of experience architecting and delivering complex Cloud, Infrastructure, and End-User Computing solutions. Deep expertise in Azure, Intune, Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation, with a track record of driving modernization and operational excellence across enterprise environments. Skilled in automating deployments, packaging applications, and securing cloud infrastructure and blockchain technology, under modern DevOps practices.

One of the most rewarding areas of my career has been supporting users in the crypto space—where for over five years, I’ve personally trained, tutored, and provided hands-on assistance to both new and seasoned users, helping them resolve staking, wallet access, and onboarding challenges. This domain has become yet another area of deep expertise, complementing my extensive experience delivering complex IT and infrastructure solutions across Banking, NHS Trusts, and BAE Systems. Whether leading global EUC upgrades, architecting secure cloud environments, or managing validator infrastructure, I’ve consistently driven transformation through technical leadership, user-centric support, and operational excellence.
