Enforced structured release gates

Competence Centre Lead Cloud Operations
Competence Centre Lead Cloud Operations
  • Led five Cloud Architects across multiple client environments, ensuring platform stability and progressive service delivery.
  • Established the Environments Manager role, auditing 14 client environments and decommissioning 5 unused ones ? estimated to save approximately ?30,000/month in infrastructure costs.
  • Enforced structured release gates: mandatory UAT sign-off 24 hours before production for one client, a minimum two-hour stabilisation window for another, eliminating ad-hoc deployments.
  • Drove follow-through on AI workshop outcomes: developed a Chatbot MVP for internal request handling and established Agentic Coding as the approach for new development in team planning.
  • Facilitated a structured engineer handover with co-authored documentation, peer validation, and an open-issues register ensuring full continuity.
  • Identified two qualified Cloud Engineer candidates through active sourcing across three agencies; role ultimately resolved through internal restructuring.

Restructured a flat organisation

Solutions Architect (acting Head of Development)
Solutions Architect (acting Head of Development)
  • Restructured a flat organisation of 60 direct reports into six autonomous cross-functional teams of 8?12, replacing ad-hoc coordination with clear ownership and accountability.
  • Separated modernisation and feature delivery into dedicated workstreams, ending an unproductive 50:50 split and unlocking focused throughput in both tracks.
  • Prevented costly misdirection on the PowerBuilder to .NET/Angular migration through clear technical evaluation of scope and risk.
  • Initiated an AI-driven migration strategy projected to compress an estimated 10?15 year manual migration to approximately 2 years; programme launched before departure.
  • Assessed AI adoption readiness through an internal hackathon, producing strategic recommendations that directly informed the organisation's subsequent AI transformation roadmap.

Profile

  • 19+ years across cloud architecture, team building, and product design. Energised by fast-moving challenges ? from agentic coding and cloud modernisation to UX and organisational design. At my best where technology, people and product strategy converge.
  • I get genuinely excited about new things ? whether that's agentic coding, cloud architecture, a UX challenge, or building a team from scratch. Over 19 years I've deliberately expanded from engineering into product, design and leadership, because I believe great technology needs all of these perspectives to deliver real impact.
