Most enterprise platforms don't fail from lack of code; they fail from deployment friction, unobservable distributed systems, and compliance debt. I'm a senior cloud & platform engineer with 8+ years shipping mission-critical systems across Azure Cloud + DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Applied AI. Currently Lead Consultant at Capgemini and Founder of ADM Guard — the compliance flight recorder for automated decisions (APP 1.7–1.9).
Over my career, I've architected cloud platforms and full-stack telemetry across regulated banking, energy, and automotive environments—from monitoring 10,000+ microservices and endpoints at Bank of Queensland and modernizing container platforms at Toyota Australia, to cutting environment setup from days to under 30 minutes at EPA Victoria.
Beyond enterprise consulting, I serve as Head of IT for IndianCare Inc., managing digital infrastructure for Victorian community welfare. If you're planning your next cloud, platform, or AI milestone, let's talk.
Experience
Enterprise cloud architecture, platform modernization, and backend systems engineered across regulated industries.
Leading enterprise Dynatrace full-stack observability implementation across banking cloud and platform infrastructure, monitoring 10,000+ microservices and endpoints across multi-cloud environments and enterprise data centers. Architecting custom dashboards, distributed tracing, synthetic transaction monitors, and automated anomaly alert policies to accelerate incident triage and reduce MTTD/MTTR.

Spearheaded Azure DevOps architecture for migrating mission-critical integration workloads to Azure Integration Services (APIM, Logic Apps, Azure Functions) with zero-downtime cutovers. Designed repeatable YAML CI/CD automation pipelines, automated SAST security scanning, and enforced IaC governance.
Architected end-to-end Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules using Terraform and ARM for Azure Integration Services (APIM, Logic Apps, Azure Functions), cutting environment provisioning times from days to under 30 minutes. Enforced enterprise CI/CD templates and Azure Policy security guardrails.
Built and optimized scalable .NET microservices and RESTful APIs for smart building and digital twin platforms within Agile sprint cadences. Diagnosed backend bottlenecks to improve application uptime and response times by ~35%. Initiated early CI/CD pipeline automation and developer enablement.
Built and maintained robust RESTful APIs and backend microservices using .NET, C#, and relational database systems. Refactored complex SQL schemas, stored procedures, and data pipelines, boosting throughput and cutting latency by ~50%. Configured automated build and test quality checks.
Managing complete end-to-end IT infrastructure, cloud administration, and digital operations for a Victoria-based community welfare non-profit. Overseeing Microsoft 365 and Entra ID identity governance, domain security, website operations, and digital safeguarding for sensitive community helpline and family welfare support services.

The compliance flight recorder for automated decisions. Built for Australian B2B SaaS, fintech, and HR-tech to meet mandatory Privacy Act APP 1.7–1.9 obligations before the December 2026 enforcement deadline.
Architected as a developer-first compliance evidence layer at the code boundary. Integrates a zero-PII ingestion firewall (422 rejection before persistence), tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chains with Merkle verification, and Azure Australia East WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) storage with single-call SDKs for Python, Node, and Go.
Solves the 10 December 2026 Australian Privacy Act APP 1.7–1.9 enforcement cliff with continuous code-level evidence rather than stale PDFs.
Zero-PII ingestion boundary actively rejects personal names, emails, TFNs, and Medicare numbers prior to persistence.
Tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain and Merkle trees anchored to immutable Azure Australia East WORM storage.
Drop-in REST API and multi-language SDKs with client-generated idempotency keys for instant developer adoption.

Daily Technical Notes
Real-world insights on Azure governance, platform engineering, AI guardrails, and enterprise architecture—published daily to X.
Developer velocity isn't how fast your team types code.
It's how little stands between `git push` and verified-in-production, with zero fear of breaking the build.
If QA sign-off takes 3 weeks, that's not CI/CD. It's a queue.
What's your lead time?
A Terraform pattern that shrinks your blast radius to near zero:
Split state by how often things change, not by environment.
Landing zones (yearly) ≠ AKS (monthly) ≠ app deploys (daily).
Bicep or Terraform for you in 2026?
Early on, you measure yourself by how much code you write.
Later, by how much complexity you kept out of production.
The best PRs I review now delete more than they add.
When did that shift click for you?
I'm currently open to new opportunities and interesting projects. Whether you have a question or just want to say hi, I'll try my best to get back to you!
