About

the short version

I’m an IT professional with a strong focus on cyber security, backed by hands-on experience across support, systems and data. Day to day that means hardening the environment, reading threat intel, and building the internal tools and AI agents that take the repetitive work off people’s desks.

I came into IT through frontline roles — retail floors, service desks, admin — so I judge a control by whether the people it protects can actually live with it. That’s the thread through everything below.

I’m open to roles and conversations in cyber security and AI — in Sydney or remote. LinkedIn is the fastest way in; email works just as well.
