Budgets, tagging, showback, forecasting and continuous FinOps reviews that turn cloud spend into better decisions.

04 / Background

A career built across the whole digital stack.

I began in web design and front-end engineering, moved into UX and team leadership, then Agile delivery. That foundation still shapes how I approach cloud and platform work: understand the people using a system, make complexity visible, and build an operating model that lasts.

Most recently, I led cloud and DevOps platforms at Convatec, combining governance, FinOps, enterprise tooling and global team leadership.
