engineering leader · product & agile delivery · SOCI / CIRMP researcher · builder
About twenty years leading digital, data, cloud, and engineering delivery across Australia, the UAE, Malaysia, and Pakistan, with teams in Southeast Asia and Vietnam. Retail, banking, aviation, and now health, in startups and in large enterprises.
I lead engineering teams and I read the rules they work under. Most people writing about critical infrastructure have never carried a team or a release. I moved into regulated work on purpose. I am starting a Masters by Research on how critical infrastructure security gets measured. I still build: SaLLM (my own AI-SDLC) and cirmp AI for CIRMP obligations under the SOCI Act.
Not a career cyber person, and that's the point.

In a great culture, I ship results that surprise the room. In a broken one, I stall, drift, and hallucinate, just like any good model.
