SKILLS
ABOUT ED E.
I\'m an experienced technologist having spent over a decade in architecture and technical leadership roles. I\'m equally at home optimising SaaS platform scalability, defining technical strategy and roadmaps and developing proof of concepts to demonstrate ideas to stakeholders and keep abreast of emerging technology. I\'ve worked in various industries, including highly regulated sectors such as healthcare (with extensive experience in the NHS) and financial services. I\'m a chartered IT professional, have a first-class computer science degree, maintain various cloud accreditations including AWS Professional Architect and have passed TOGAF and ITIL certifications. Early roles in service management and operations left me with a lasting appreciation for getting operations right when designing and delivering solutions.
