Cirriculum Vitae

Introduction

I undertake architecture level and senior SRE, DevOps, and AI consulting having worked independently for global corporate giants and small and medium businesses alike, providing scalable infrastructure and bespoke solutions into physical, private and public cloud environments.

In the past I have been engaged in architecting, designing, and developing trading and middle office systems for retail and investment banks globally, leading into my passion for modern infrastructure, automation, instrumentation and observability. These days I’m also familiar with cloud architecture frameworks such as Well Architected Framework (WAF) on AWS. I have a burgeoning AI stack and deploying across my own back-office.

I am very active in application development with a strong interest in commercial open source where I’m active in presenting and mentoring in local developer orientated user group circles, and for many years was the convenor of the Open Source SIG for the Australian Computer Society in Sydney.

With my BastionLinux^TM brand, I have a large public portfolio of offerings taking a hybrid/multicloud approach across AWS, Azure, GCP, Alicloud, OCI, Digital Ocean, IBMCloud.

As the vendor of a Linux distribution, the breadth and depth of my skills is extensive. Should you wish to discover what Well-Engineered looks like for yourself, you are encouraged to check out or spin something up in AWS or AliCloud.
