About me
I am a Senior Infrastructure Consultant with nearly 10 years of experience operating and improving cloud platforms. My work focuses on platform reliability, CI/CD modernisation, centralized logging and observability, and practical infrastructure as code. I value measurable outcomes: reduced deployment friction, improved operational visibility, and platforms that teams can depend on.
Values & Philosophy
Reliability over novelty
Platform decisions should start with uptime, recoverability, and blast radius. I prefer proven patterns over untested approaches.
Practical security
Security should be a sensible default, not an afterthought. I aim to apply controls that are proportionate and maintainable.
Automation where it matters
Repeatable processes should be automated, but with clear intent. Not everything needs a pipeline; judgment matters.
Systems thinking
Good platform engineering considers how parts interact. I try to understand the broader system before changing any single component.
Beyond work
When I am not building cloud platforms, I enjoy exploring Melbourne's coffee scene, reading about systems thinking and engineering culture, and staying current with the evolving cloud-native ecosystem. I believe that well-rounded engineers build better solutions.
