I most recently served at the Ministry of Defence as Head of Joint Key Crypt & Cyber Programmes, where I was responsible for delivering systems that enable the operation and exploitation of global Defence communication networks.

I bring over a decade of experience working with Defence Special Users, including direct support to Counter-IED operations overseas. During this time, I led the development and deployment of complex, innovative, and nhighly specialised technologies, managing programmes. 

I have also contributed extensively to Defence international programmes, with a particular focus on command and control systems, communication networks, and advanced data analytics and exploitation capabilities.

My broader experience lies in avionics engineering. Earlier in my career, I developed a strong technical foundation as an engineer, gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of aeronautical engineering and flight test.

I am currently the school caretaker at St Mary's.
