Summary
Ben Parker is a cloud-focused technology director with over a decade of hands-on IT and infrastructure experience, now specialising in planning, migrating and managing Microsoft Azure environments. As Director of Codify he combines client advocacy with technical leadership, driving a one-cloud strategy that leverages proprietary IP to deliver organised, evidence-based Azure solutions rather than set-and-forget deployments. His career includes leading complex enterprise infrastructure at Microsoft engagements and critical state government systems, with a track record of automating deployments, reducing time-to-test and building highly available virtualised platforms. Ben balances customer-facing solution design with operational oversight across projects, HR and finance, ensuring outcomes that align with commercial goals. He is based in Greater Brisbane and brings a practical bias for measurable improvements in platform manageability and business workflows. Less obvious: his background spans both rapid event-scale delivery (TechEd) and long-running government systems, giving him rare experience in both high-pressure, ephemeral environments and mission-critical, highly regulated operations.
