A bit about me

IT professional based in London with a background bridging enterprise infrastructure, cloud identity, and a postgraduate research grounding in digital transformation.

I'm an IT Support Engineer with over five years of experience delivering 1st and 2nd line technical support across enterprise and professional services environments. My core focus is Microsoft 365 administration, Active Directory, and device management through Intune and Autopilot.

I've worked across on-premises and hybrid identity environments, managed endpoint fleets, and maintained high service quality under pressure in complex organisations including a 7,000-user enterprise contract at Severn Trent.

I hold an MSc in Digital Transformation from Birmingham City University and a BSc in Pure and Applied Mathematics, which gives me a methodical, analytical approach to both support and infrastructure work. I'm currently completing ITIL Foundation certification.

Outside of IT, I have active interests in event lighting production, video work, and I'm exploring AI-powered tools and workflows as both a practitioner and a builder.
