Security works
best when it
works for people.
CLEAR-EYED. CUSTOMER-LED. OUTCOME-FOCUSED.
Good security makes
good work possible.
I’m a security solution architect at Data#3, working with organisations across Australia to tackle the security challenges that matter most.
With more than 25 years in technology and enterprise projects, I bring a practical perspective to Microsoft security. The goal is always the same: understand the real risk, make the most of the tools already available, and build a plan people can put into practice.
My work spans information protection, identity, threat defence and incident response—bringing the pieces together so security supports the business instead of getting in its way.
