Built through experience. Focused on outcomes.

I help organisations cut through complexity — aligning strategy, technology, and people to deliver outcomes that actually stick.

About

I’ve spent most of my career working inside complex organisations — large enterprises, public-sector bodies, and fast-moving businesses — where technology is expected to deliver change, but rarely given the conditions to do so well.

Over time, I’ve learned that most transformation problems are not caused by a lack of tools, platforms, or capability. They’re caused by misalignment: between intent and execution, between systems and people, and between the stories organisations tell themselves and how they actually operate.

My work sits in that gap.

Experience

I’ve worked across architecture, delivery, integration, data, and automation — often at the seams where things break quietly rather than catastrophically.

That perspective matters. It means I’ve seen what happens after the frameworks are approved, the roadmaps are published, and the programmes are declared “successful”. I’ve lived with the operational consequences of those decisions: brittle integrations, accidental complexity, and teams forced to work around systems that were never designed to work together.

This site is shaped by that experience — not as theory, but as reflection.

How I Work

I work deliberately and pragmatically.

That means:

  • prioritising clarity over ceremony

  • designing systems that reflect how organisations actually behave

  • treating architecture as a living practice, not a compliance function

  • using technology as leverage, not spectacle

I’m comfortable working at the intersection of strategy and delivery — helping leaders think clearly about where they’re going, while staying grounded in what it takes to build and operate systems that last.

What I Don't Do

Just as important as what I do is what I avoid.

I don’t chase technology trends for their own sake.
I don’t sell transformation as a product.
I don’t believe complexity is a sign of sophistication.

I’m sceptical of grand narratives that sound good but collapse under operational pressure — especially where AI, data, or “platform” thinking is concerned.

That scepticism isn’t cynicism. It’s earned.

If you’re wrestling with complexity, struggling to turn intent into coherent systems, or simply want a clearer way of thinking about how technology supports real work, you’ll likely find something here that resonates.

And if it does, I’m always open to a serious conversation.
