I'm a field engineer and pre-sales consultant for Solo.io, helping enterprises connect and protect their applications and microservices with API gateway and service mesh.

Graduating from the University of Edinburgh in 2006 with a bachelors degree in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, I also spent time with VMware Tanzu (by way of Pivotal), specialising in developing, running and managing modern cloud-native applications, as well as the platforms they need for getting to production quickly and allowing rapid feedback and iteration. Prior to that, I worked at Alfa on the design, development and delivery of their flagship asset finance software platform across Europe and North America; and with Sun Microsystems in California supporting their entire portfolio of systems for key customers.

I was also a founding member of Assembly, a London-based folk-rock band with their roots in Liverpool. Their third EP was launched in 2012 to rave reviews.
