I'm a veteran who served with the Royal Signals — the corps responsible for military communications and information systems — before moving to Canada. That's where infrastructure stopped being theoretical for me. My career then continued in the same direction: racking servers in data centres, building platforms, and learning how systems actually work at the hardware level. From there, I moved into architecting cloud platforms, then into applications and AI — including nearly five years at Microsoft, where I rose from Azure Customer Engineer to Senior Solutions Engineer, leading cloud and AI platform strategy and driving enterprise adoption of cloud-native and AI-powered solutions. That journey — Royal Signals to data centre floor to cloud architecture to Microsoft to modern app development and AI — is what shapes everything I do today. I don't just advise on technology — I've built it from the ground up, across the full stack.

I started Code To Cloud because I love meeting people and teaching them about technology — not in a classroom way, in a “let's grab a coffee and figure this out” way. I kept having conversations with business owners who were overwhelmed by tech decisions, getting sold solutions they didn't need, and feeling like nobody was speaking their language. I realized Alberta had a real gap — there was no community-driven technology advisory built specifically for this market. So I built one.

Alberta gave me that opportunity, and I've fully embraced the Albertan approach: pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get it done. No waiting for permission. No corporate playbook. Just show up, do the work, and earn trust by delivering results.

Big firms sell you complexity. Vendors sell you their product. I help you cut through the noise and make technology decisions that actually make sense for your business, your budget, and your team. I've been on both sides of the table — the technology leader inside the organization making the decisions, and the trusted advisor helping clients get it right. That dual perspective, combined with real engineering experience, is what makes the difference.
