Enterprise architecture
Mapping how a business works and planning the technology to match, so strategy and delivery line up.
About my work
Skills & experience
I started my career looking after mission-critical data platforms, then moved into designing them, along with the engineered systems and applications that sat on top, mostly across retail and banking. At Westpac Group I led cross-functional teams as well as the service providers working alongside us. Today I lead solution architecture at Service NSW, where the work also covers enterprise architecture and adopting AI responsibly and securely.
What I work on
Where I focus
Solution architecture
Designing how systems fit together, and helping teams work through the detail.
Data engineering & platforms
Cloud and container platforms on AWS, and the databases behind them - Oracle, Snowflake, MySQL, Postgres.
AI
Using AI in a practical way, with sensible guardrails around data and risk.
Digital transformation
Helping larger change programs stay grounded, and keeping technical debt and cost under control.
How I work
Approach
I try not to stop at high-level ideas or chase the latest trend. I like to get into the real technical detail - solving today’s problem while mapping out sensible next steps and a longer-term direction.
Most of my recent work has been fairly hands-on: reviewing platforms, moving infrastructure, and helping teams get a clearer picture of how their systems fit together.
