Solution Architect · AWS Certified Professional
19 years building. 8 years shaping how systems are designed.
I work with business and delivery teams to turn desired outcomes into practical, end-to-end technology change across systems, applications, integration, infrastructure and cloud. My work spans solution and platform architecture, systems integration, networking, security, and service design and management. Within Auckland Airport’s existing technology standards, policies and capabilities, I design solutions that bring together work from multiple internal teams and vendors. I make sure what we deliver meets business objectives and stays scalable, reliable and aligned with the airport’s long-term technology direction. I write about what I learn — AWS patterns, DevSecOps, AI in production — on Medium.
Real problems, real solutions. No theory without practice. I publish on Medium when I find something worth sharing — usually after I've built it, broken it, and fixed it.

How I built an autonomous AI agent that runs an entire reading comprehension programme over email — generating worksheets, grading handwritten answers, and deciding what's next — with zero dashboard and zero manual triggers.
