Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurie Rhodes is a Security Architect based in Melbourne with deep expertise in Microsoft technologies and a 25-year commercial track record applying automation, governance and security at enterprise scale. Currently at Australas, Laurie has spent the past decade designing and codifying repeatable Azure platform controls, policies and automated responses—turning security frameworks into deployable code and reusable cloud patterns. He blends hands-on engineering (ARM/JSON, PowerShell, Sentinel playbooks, Azure Blueprints) with program-level problem solving, having bridged governance gaps for large Agile transformations at Telstra and delivered security for big data initiatives at Bupa. Laurie’s background spans both consulting and in-house roles across banking, government and healthcare, giving him a practical lens on risk, compliance and operationalising controls. Notably, he pairs a long history of platform automation and packaging tooling with modern cloud-native security design, enabling teams to move fast without sacrificing auditability.
