ABOUT ME
I am a passionate, intuitive and resilent individual when it come to the Information Technology space. I have a strong passion for emerging technologies and continuous improvement, consistently seeking opportunities to enhance efficiency and resilency as a individual.
​​
With over 8 years of enterprise IT experience in the retail sector, I bring a proven track record in VMware virtualization, cybersecurity, cloud technologies, and project management. My expertise extends across Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Automation via PowerShell, and implementing robust security policies and procedures to safeguard the enterprise environment against evolving threats. My most familar frame work is the NIST framework whilst following CIS templates as well.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
JDSPORTS
2021 - Present
As an IT Infrastructure Engineer at JD Sports Fashion, I architect, implement, and optimise mission-critical infrastructure across hybrid on-prem and cloud environments, ensuring end-to-end service reliability for a global retail ecosystem operating at massive scale. My remit spans core infrastructure lifecycle management, including compute, storage, networking, virtualization, and platform services, all aligned to enterprise availability, performance, and security KPIs.
​
Beyond technical delivery, I collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering, security, and operations teams—as well as strategic third-party vendors—to drive infrastructure standardisation, automation, and continuous service improvement. I ensure all technology platforms are fully aligned with business requirements, leveraging scalable architectures, best-practice governance, and robust operational frameworks that enable the organisation’s rapid growth and long-term digital strategy.
