Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Burst is an operations engineering and InfoSec lead with nine years of hands-on experience managing Windows-centric enterprise systems across IMC's APAC trading footprint. He combines deep expertise in AD, Exchange/365, VMware, AWS and Veeam with a practical passion for PowerShell automation to remove toil and accelerate operational workflows. In a dual ops-and-security role he protects critical trading infrastructure from both internal and external threats, balancing availability with risk mitigation. Marcus progressed from high-volume IT support and systems administration into a leadership role where he still retains day-to-day technical ownership. Based in Sydney, he’s known for turning repetitive operational tasks into repeatable, auditable processes that scale across multiple offices. Unusually for an ops lead, he maintains a strong security mindset alongside platform engineering, bridging teams to deliver resilient, automated systems.
