As a former Cloud Solution Architect and Partner Technology Strategist at Microsoft, he has guided startups and mature software companies to design, build, deploy and operate SaaS on Azure, with hands-on expertise in App Service, API Management, Functions, Logic Apps and Service Fabric. He blends deep platform knowledge with pragmatic presales and technical strategy experience from earlier roles in SQL Server, BI and data warehousing across Sybase and Microsoft. Based in Melbourne, he’s known for accelerating app delivery and improving quality through platform-centric patterns rather than one-off fixes. Colleagues rely on him for turning complex cloud architectures into repeatable, operational SaaS blueprints.
