Author Profile
Field CTO
I’m a passionate speaker and thought leader with over 30 years of experience in software development, architecture, and delivery. With a deep focus on DevOps, DevSecOps, and Developer Experience (DevEx), I’m a trusted voice in the tech community, featured in outlets like The NewStack, BeatNews, and LeadDev. Career highlights include leading cloud migration at Advanced, establishing their first DevOps team, and scaling DevOps practices across the organisation. I’ve dedicated my career to transforming how organisations approach software delivery by fostering a culture of collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement. As a speaker, I focus on driving DevOps transformation, implementing DevSecOps strategies, and optimising the developer experience. My work emphasises building high-performing, secure, and scalable systems, while promoting a culture of blameless accountability. Drawing from a wealth of cross-sector experience, I offer practical, actionable insights on scaling DevOps practices, integrating security throughout the software lifecycle, and creating developer-friendly environments without compromising governance. My goal is to inspire organisations to rethink their approach to software delivery and evolve their DevOps, DevSecOps, and DevEx practices for the future.
