How I work

Technical enough to challenge the detail. Senior enough to move the service.

My background spans frontline SOC delivery, SIEM engineering, security architecture, principal solution design, service delivery and cross-functional leadership across technical account management.

That means I can move between analysts, engineers, clients and senior stakeholders without losing the thread.

Things I’ve been building

Small products, taken through to implementation.

Not everything I build is security-related. Building products keeps me close to implementation, trade-offs and the detail of making something usable.
