▶ Profile Summary
I am a Cloud Architect, Solution Designer, and former registered Paramedic with a strong foundation in safety-critical operations, critical thinking processes, digital transformation, and modern cloud technologies. I combine hands-on emergency response experience with technical expertise in Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365, and application architecture.
As co-founder of The Cloud Workshop Studio (2026-present), I design and deliver cloud-based learning programmes, architect digital solutions, and lead voluntary community projects in cloud engineering, application development, and digital skills.
My background in emergency medicine gives me a unique understanding of risk, safety, operational reliability, and user-centred design, which I now apply to building secure, resilient, modern digital systems.
