Cyber Professional • Technology Delivery • Operational Resilience

Helping organisations strengthen cyber resilience through practical governance, security-by-design, and technology transformation.

I bring together 30+ years in technology, 15+ years in project delivery, postgraduate cybersecurity study, and leadership in the cybersecurity community through WiCyS Sydney.
