// ABOUT.md
Lead Data Engineer and Azure Solutions Architect with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise data platforms across some of Scotland's and the UK's most complex organisations.
My background spans consultancy and in-house roles — from fast-paced data agencies to acting as senior technical lead at ScotRail, owning everything from streaming pipeline architecture to Azure infrastructure strategy.
I specialise in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem but I'm genuinely open to new platforms — if you're working on AWS or GCP and willing to bring me on the journey, let's talk.
Currently available for contract or permanent roles. Inside/Outside IR35. Glasgow-based, open to hybrid and remote.
