From Builder to Innovator
My journey is defined by a relentless move up the stack. From writing the Code (Backend), to managing the Scale (Ops), to now designing the Future (Research & Security Architecture).
The Builder
Fullstack Web Developer @ BlueX Services
My foundation was in building real products for real clients. Delivering web applications in PHP & JavaScript with secure backends and API integrations taught me that great software is secure software — input validation, parameterised queries, and OWASP-hardened auth flows from day one.
The Cloud Security Engineer
Backend Developer & Cloud Support @ Ecosynd
I levelled up from writing code to owning the cloud. Led an on-premises-to-Azure migration with Terraform & Bicep, cut provisioning time ~40%, enforced least-privilege across 10+ subscriptions, and shipped secure CI/CD pipelines for 50+ client projects — compressing release cycles from days to under an hour.
The Security Researcher & Architect
Cloud Security Researcher @ University of Greater Manchester // MSc Cloud & Network Security
Now I innovate at the frontier. Building a regulation-anchored Azure benchmark in Terraform for fintech misconfiguration detection — comparing seven static and runtime tools on coverage, latency, and false-positive rate. Authoring an auditable KQL rule set on Azure Monitor and releasing the benchmark as open source.
My vision: prevention-first cloud security anchored to frameworks like:
- » PSD3 & DORA Compliance
- » Zero Trust & Azure PIM
- » Autonomous Misconfiguration Detection
