With over 24 years of experience in the IT industry, I have served as an Enterprise, Security, and Solution Architect for global organisations including Mastercard, Barclays, CITI, JPMC, ABN AMRO, Zurich UK, Lloyds Bank, and Vodafone. As a seasoned technology leader, I have successfully delivered mission-critical programmes for FTSE 100 and Fortune 100 companies—aligning enterprise architecture with strategic business objectives, regulatory mandates, and risk management goals.My expertise spans Enterprise Architecture, Cyber Security, Solution & Integration Architecture, and Data Architecture across the banking, payments(ISO20022,ISO 8583), insurance, and e-commerce sectors. I specialise in Secure Cloud Architecture (AWS,Azure), Secure Software Development Lifecycle (Secure-SDLC), Zero Trust Architecture, cryptographic design, API and data security, and structured threat modelling using frameworks such as STRIDE, SABSA and LINDDUN.Beyond technical delivery, I bring strategic vision and business acumen—having shaped architecture governance, influenced product and security roadmaps, and advised senior stakeholders on aligning architecture with operational resilience and regulatory compliance. I have led architecture practices, Centres of Excellence, and multi-disciplinary teams across the UK and EU, delivering secure, scalable, and compliant enterprise platforms.I am deeply committed to embedding security by design, guiding architects in applying structured methodologies for threat identification, secure system decomposition, and layered control design. My work is underpinned by alignment to frameworks such as OWASP Top 10, NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, and ISO 27001.
