Cloud Architect

I work for Deloitte as a cloud architect, leading a team responsible for evolving cloud architecture, tools and processes within the consulting organisation. Over the last year we have designed and implemented data analytics solutions on both Openstack and AWS , mixing the components available within the cloud platforms, with other commercial and open-source software. I am very much a 'hands-on' engineer and enjoy building tools and applications in Python, my language of choice. Over the last year we have explored a number of automated provisioning tools. We have cooked up recipes in Chef and dabbled with Docker, but as a 'pythonista', not surprisingly we have settled on Ansible! In previous roles, I have designed and implemented enterprise solutions to streamline business processes with customers, suppliers, logistics partners and other business partners in the telecoms sector, using a variety of methodologies, and a variety of commercial and open-source toolsets and technologies. I have been a key contributor in organisations that have deployed enterprise architectures, which have enabled multi-million dollar and in some cases, billion dollar revenue streams.
