Systems Engineer and IT consultant working across infrastructure, healthcare IT, automation, and practical security.

I’m a systems engineer and IT consultant based in Australia. I work across Microsoft 365, infrastructure, healthcare IT, troubleshooting, and the cleanup work that keeps systems reliable.

Outside client work, I build practical tools like Pear and the BOM Radar Card, and keep a foot in security research when it is useful.
