// Problems I solve

When IT gets in the way of work, I'm the one who clears the path.

Every role I've held comes down to the same thing: find the real cause, fix it properly, and leave the environment more resilient than I found it.

"We keep getting phishing emails — and we're worried."

I harden Microsoft 365 with Defender policies, roll out MFA across the user base and work with tools like Darktrace to close the gaps attackers use.

Delivered: anti-phishing policies in Defender 365 and an MFA rollout at Quorum Network Resources.
"What happens if our systems go down?"

Disaster recovery and backup that actually restores — cloud DR design, Veeam and cloud backup management, and the testing to prove it works.

Delivered: an AWS disaster recovery project for a key client at Charles Square IT.
"Our admin team spends hours on repetitive tasks."

PowerShell automation for account creation, joiners/movers/leavers and Active Directory housekeeping — fewer errors, faster onboarding.

Delivered: automated AD account creation and management for ~300 users.
"Our network is old, slow or unreliable."

Network refreshes planned and delivered with proper change control — Cisco Meraki, LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi, VLAN segmentation and VPN — with minimal disruption.

Delivered: multi-site replacement and upgrade of network equipment at Modern Networks.
"Our Microsoft 365 and Azure setup is a tangle."

Licensing, Azure AD / Entra identities, Intune and Endpoint Manager — tidied, documented and managed so it's cost-effective and secure.

Delivered: Azure licence management and Azure application support across finance and legal clients.
"Our remote and hybrid staff can't connect reliably."

VPN, virtual desktops and telephony that just work from anywhere — GlobalProtect, VMware Horizon, Citrix, Teams, Zoom and softphones.

Delivered: remote access and telephony support for NHS staff on-site and at home.
"Critical, specialist apps can't go down."

Calm, methodical support in high-stakes environments — clinical systems, regulated finance and legal platforms — with clear escalation when it matters.

Delivered: support for NHS clinical applications including PACS, CRIS, ICE and NoteOn.
"We need someone on-site who owns it."

A trusted, customer-facing site lead who builds relationships with stakeholders and vendors, and keeps hundreds of users productive day to day.

Delivered: IT Site Lead at GE Capital, directly supporting 400+ users.
"New laptops, old laptops, and no process."

Device lifecycle done right — imaging, deployment with SCCM / Endpoint Manager, secure wiping, and the process documentation so it stays consistent.

Delivered: workstation re-imaging and client process documentation at Kocho / TiG.
