Senior Solutions Architect · Ireland · Since 1997
I build, migrate and secure the infrastructure businesses depend on.
Nearly three decades across Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, networking and Linux — turning complex estates into systems that are simple, secure and stay up. These days that includes Copilot, OpenAI and other AI tools, used daily for scripting, documentation and analysis.
01 — Profile
The short version
I've worked in IT since 1997 — through the shift from on-premises everything to hybrid and cloud, and the security wake-up calls that came with it. That means I've seen which shortcuts survive production and which ones become next year's outage.
Today my work is mostly Microsoft: migrating Exchange, consolidating Microsoft 365 tenants and directories, moving Active Directory domains with ADMT and Quest tools, and giving people secure remote access. Around that sits the rest of the estate — VMware, Cisco networks, Linux servers and PowerShell in Visual Studio Code to hold it all together, with Copilot, OpenAI and other AI providers now part of daily work.
01
Map the dependencies and agree the rollback before touching production.
02
Rehearsed cutovers, clear communication and verified results — no drama.
03
Secure, monitored systems that are easy to support and hand over.

04 — Expertise
Eight disciplines
Eight disciplines, one habit: making complex estates easier to run.
01
Migrations, tenant consolidations and hybrid Exchange estates — planned, cut over and supported end to end.
02
Directory design, Group Policy, and domain migrations and consolidations using ADMT and Quest tools — access models that stay understandable.
03
vSphere estates and Windows Server workloads built for uptime, with Linux running comfortably alongside.
04
Routing, switching and segmentation for networks that are fast, resilient and properly documented.
05
Hardened perimeters, MFA and secure remote access that people can use without working around it.
06
Ubuntu servers, containers and core services — patched, monitored and predictable, alongside the Windows estate.
07
Scripts and runbooks written in Visual Studio Code that remove repeat work across Windows, Exchange and Microsoft 365 — so changes stay consistent.
08
Daily use of Copilot, OpenAI and other AI providers for scripting, documentation and analysis — with data boundaries and security kept in view.
05 — Beyond work
Off the clock
The best engineers are interested in more than servers. These are the things that recharge me.
Calm under pressure, at any depth.
Long trails and time to think.
Noticing the details others walk past.
Small tools built for the fun of it.
Always testing what comes next.
