Principal Technical Account Manager at AWS

I am a Principal Technical Account Manager at AWS, supporting software companies in ANZ. I'm passionate about system reliability and love sharing knowledge. You might've seen me on stage at AWS re:Invent in 2023, 2024 and 2025, or at the Public Sector Symposium 2024, where I talked about keeping cloud systems resilient and efficient. I've also written a couple of blogs and created workshops on operational excellence and reliability.

When I'm not geeking out over cloud tech, I'm a dad to three awesome kids. Big Liverpool fan here! Let's chat about tech, sports, or anything in between!
