Post-quantum cyber-resilience platform for NIS2-regulated organisations

Founder & Principal Engineer Rust IT Security Architecture Post-Quantum Cryptography ...
Founder & Principal Engineer

Cyber-resilience platform for servers and endpoints, sold to organisations in scope of NIS2. Full technical ownership: architecture, security posture, regulatory alignment and delivery.

  • Security architecture: post-quantum ML-KEM transport, shell-less storage appliance, EU-only data custody chain, zero-knowledge key model.
  • Recovery engineering: instant bare-metal restore to unprepared hardware, in-flight EFI and partition repair, hypervisor live mount and migration.
  • NIS2 obligations translated into concrete architectural and operational controls; ISO 27001 programme and partner DPA framework under way.
  • Six platform layers in production within six months, built single-handedly while employed full time.

Migration of legacy bare-metal data platform to AWS

Principal / Senior Staff Engineer Cloud Architecture AWS Java ...
Principal / Senior Staff Engineer

Migration of a legacy bare-metal architecture to AWS, including large-scale refactoring of Perl systems into Java, Python and C++.

  • Owned target architecture and migration approach for core data processing pipelines.
  • Course-corrected key architectural decisions mid-programme, preventing critical performance bottlenecks.
  • Promoted within two months to primary technical liaison between engineering, product and leadership.
  • Led a five-person team that outdelivered a fifteen-person AWS Professional Services team by five projects to none.

Business continuity and disaster recovery platform ? on-premise development

Principal / Senior Staff Engineer, BCDR Linux Operating Systems System Migration ...
Principal / Senior Staff Engineer, BCDR

Technical lead for on-premise development of Datto's flagship Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery platform - the company's highest-rated product and a core asset of a $6.2B acquisition.

  • Technical direction and architectural standards for the operating system and core services teams.
  • Core member of the rapid response team for critical large-scale production incidents.
  • Owned platform cybersecurity with the SecOps function: threat mitigation, customer security requirements, compliance.
  • Architected for high availability and 100% uptime on critical communication paths; tens of millions in savings through performance optimisation.

PROFILE

  • Security architect with twenty years in environments where downtime and data loss carry real consequence: defence embedded systems under formal certification regimes, industrial IoT for heavy industry and power generation, and business continuity and disaster recovery platforms at enterprise scale. Equally at home in architecture, hands-on engineering and the compliance work that surrounds both.
  • Currently building post-quantum resilience infrastructure for organisations in scope of NIS2, and an invited member of the ETSI working groups on cyber security and quantum-safe cryptography - the European bodies defining the standards this work will be measured against.
  • Typical engagements: security and resilience architecture, NIS2 alignment for operational environments, recovery and continuity design, cryptography and post-quantum readiness, technical due diligence, and interim technical leadership during team build-out.
