Experienced Solution Architect specializing in Observability

What I'm looking for

Solutions Architecture roles, focusing on Observability

I specialize in cloud architecture and observability solutions, with experience designing and implementing systems both on-premises and in the cloud. A highlight project was architecting and delivering the monitoring systems for Xero's AWS migration - one of the largest cloud migrations in Australia and NZ at the time.

At Kiwibank, I provided technical leadership for initiatives including their Sumo Logic implementation and SIEM architecture design - reducing troubleshooting actions from 1 hour (with an SRE) to less than 5 minutes (self service).

My expertise spans multiple observability platforms including Sumo Logic, Datadog, Splunk, and New Relic, along with AWS cloud services.

I'm currently building serverless apps with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB to deepen my JavaScript skills and enhance my cloud-native development capabilities
