I’m a senior engineering leader specialising in stabilising, de-risking, and scaling production-critical systems for B2B clients. With 20+ years across Linux, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and large-scale telephony platforms, I have a strong track record of reducing operational risk, controlling costs, and restoring reliability in complex environments. I’m typically engaged for short- to medium-term contracts that require deep technical ownership, including incident-heavy platforms, infrastructure rationalisation, cloud migrations, observability, and handover-ready outcomes. I’ve worked remotely for 13+ years across global teams and time zones. I’m a US/Australian dual citizen, globally mobile, and open to senior, remote, international engagements.
