What I do
Specialist capability without the usual silos.
I work across the technical, operational and leadership layers of security delivery. This is useful when the problem does not fit neatly into one job description.
02
Modernise Microsoft security environments
Sentinel, Defender, KQL, detections, integrations and automation shaped around how analysts and services actually operate.
03
Apply AI to real security operations
Evaluation, procurement and deployment of AI-enabled SOC capability, focused on practical adoption and measurable operational value.
How I work
Technical enough to challenge the detail. Senior enough to move the service.
My background spans hands-on SOC delivery, SIEM engineering, security architecture, client-facing technical leadership and cross-functional team leadership across Service Delivery and Technical Account Management.
That means I can move between analysts, engineers, clients and senior stakeholders without losing the thread.

OUTCOME
Useful AI, not theatre.
Applied AI
Interested in what AI changes in the SOC, and what it does not.
I have been directly involved in the procurement and deployment of AI-enabled SOC technology, alongside practical experimentation with local and edge AI using NVIDIA Jetson hardware.
My focus is operational: where AI can reduce friction, improve consistency and support analysts without weakening accountability.
