About
Operational experience strengthened by modern technical training
I am a Computer Science and Digital Technologies graduate with a strong interest in cloud technologies, web application development, database design, business intelligence and secure digital transformation.
Alongside my transition into technology, I bring over 30 years of experience in retail and operational management. That background gives me a practical understanding of staff training, compliance, customer service, reporting, business processes and the importance of systems that people can actually use.
My portfolio focuses on practical systems that solve real business problems, including workforce management platforms, cloud-hosted auction systems, business intelligence dashboards, secure authentication workflows and cloud-based deployments.
Recent projects have involved full-stack web application development, cloud deployment using Microsoft Azure, database-driven solutions, business intelligence dashboards and secure workforce management systems. These projects demonstrate both technical capability and the practical application of technology to real-world business challenges.
