About Me

I came into tech from a trade background — I was an electrician before making the switch. I joined allpay Limited in December 2022 on the service desk and have since progressed to Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, responsible for hybrid Azure and on-premises infrastructure in a PCI-DSS regulated payments environment.

Day to day I work with Bicep/IaC pipelines, PowerShell automation, Azure networking, and incident response tooling like PagerDuty. Outside of work I run a home lab with 15+ Docker containers and build open-source tools.
