I am a managing solutions architect with over 25 years’ experience working with a broad range of organisations including industry leading, global companies. I am also experienced in designing and implementing messaging solutions using both on-premise and cloud-based infrastructures.

I have been responsible for the implementation of large projects from inception, through design, planning and into deployment.
