ABOUT ME

Hey there!

I'm an SRE Engineering Manager at ANZ in Melbourne, Australia.
I'm currently leading an SRE squad to take on production ownership of critical services, and advocating for SRE practices within the organisation. I have a history of specialising in the observability space with focus on providing valuable, cost-effective monitoring solutions to technology teams.
