About
I'm an automation and integration architect based in Brisbane, Australia, with over 20 years of experience across government, utilities, and enterprise environments.
My work focuses on the space between systems, designing and building secure, event-driven integrations that connect platforms reliably and pass security review. I've delivered across the M365 ecosystem, API development, information governance, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled automation workflows.
I operate through Move to Digital, delivering architecture and build engagements and remaining open to permanent roles and long-term embedded positions where the work is a strong fit.
AI & Governance
I embed AI into enterprise workflows where it adds genuine value, including document intelligence, schema extraction, build acceleration, and edge-case analysis, but always within a governance framework appropriate to the environment.
Data boundaries. Clear separation of what AI processes, what it returns, and what is stored. No uncontrolled data exfiltration to external services.
Human-in-loop controls. AI-generated outputs are reviewed and validated before operational use. Automation assists decisions; it does not make them autonomously.
Audit logging. Where AI is used in a workflow, the inputs, outputs, and human review decisions are logged and traceable.
Risk-aware design. AI capabilities are scoped to tasks where the failure mode is acceptable and recoverable. High-stakes decisions remain with humans.
This is not AI for its own sake. It is AI applied with the same engineering discipline as any other component in a regulated system.
How I Work
Discovery
Understanding the problem, the constraints, and the people involved.
Architecture
Designing the solution with security, maintainability, and handover in mind.
Build
Iterative delivery with regular checkpoints. No surprises.
Handover
Documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer. You own it completely.

What I Deliver
Every engagement produces tangible artefacts, not just working code:
Architecture diagrams and decision records
Integration specifications and API contracts
Security notes and threat considerations
Operational runbooks and deployment guides
Handover documentation sufficient for your team to own and maintain the solution independently
Principles
Every engagement includes documentation and runbooks. If I build it, you can maintain it.
Security review is part of the architecture, not a gate at the end.
AI is used where it adds genuine value, with appropriate governance, not as a marketing claim.
Available for permanent roles and long-term contracts.
I'm based in Brisbane and available for embedded architecture and delivery roles across Australia.
Also open to independent consulting and architecture engagements.
