I have a deep development background and have worked for various digital agencies in the UK before moving into DevOps roles in Germany and Africa, eventually heading up Cloud and DevOps enablement teams in New Zealand.
With over 10 years of designing, implementing and maintaining complex systems exclusively on Amazon Web Services (AWS), I bring a wide range of real-life cloud experience to the table and have twice been successfully nominated to be an AWS APN Cloud Ambassador (formerly APN Cloud Warrior).
I have a strong focus on work culture and environment and have led positive change in multiple organisations, particularly in the DevOps space.
I'm currently the director of McKinnel Consultants, a company that helps organisations get the most out of AWS.
