About

I'm a career changer moving into cyber security with a focus on Security Operations and Incident Response, bringing something most entry-level candidates don't: real delivery under pressure, strong stakeholder communication, and a track record of turning messy environments into repeatable processes.

I'm currently training on Masterschool's AI-focused Cyber Security Analyst track (Linux, Python, SIEM fundamentals, detection workflows, incident response, and NIST/ISO/GDPR basics). In parallel, I'm part of a supervised trainee/mentored pathway with Closed Door Security across Europe and the Middle East, contributing under the guidance of experienced industry professionals. That includes assisting with secure server builds and hardening by applying baseline configuration and patching, tightening remote access and permissions, and documenting changes to reduce attack surface. I also help build and maintain virtualised lab environments (VMware/Proxmox) to safely test configurations and reproduce scenarios, support pfSense deployments for segmentation and traffic control, and contribute to customer-facing reporting by turning technical work into clear findings and remediation steps. I use AI tools to speed up research and documentation, but decisions stay evidence-led and verified. Examples of my security work are on the Projects page (labs, incident-response exercises, and write-ups).

Before cyber security, I led complex operations and turnaround work across the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands:

• Built and scaled operations into a €2M+ eCommerce platform, cutting stockouts by 30%, reducing excess inventory by 25%, improving delivery speed by 20%, and lowering costs by 15%.

• Delivered 15+ fibre infrastructure projects reaching ~100,000 households and businesses, managing £1M+ procurement budgets and coordinating 250+ engineers.

• As Co-Founder/Director at DT Cabling & Jetting, led 40+ contractors, maintained 12–15% margins, reduced overhead by 12%, and achieved a 97% success rate on critical operations.

What you'll get from me is practical execution: I build repeatable processes, write clear documentation, stay calm when things go wrong, and communicate well with technical and non-technical stakeholders. If you're hiring for an entry-level security role (or a security-adjacent technical role where attitude and delivery matter), I'd be glad to connect.
