I am a hands-on SRE & DevOps Leader with over 20 years of experience managing complex, high-scale enterprise infrastructure within the fast-paced financial technology sector.
Over the course of my career, I have specialized in bridging the gap between rapid software development and stable, secure, highly automated operations
.
My leadership approach focuses on empowering global engineering teams, driving cultural shifts toward agile DevOps models, and executing massive infrastructure modernisations that directly protect revenue and improve delivery velocity.
Whether you are looking to scale your engineering operations, transition legacy infrastructure to the cloud, or discuss modern SRE practices, I’d love to hear from you.

Technical performance shouldn't exist without considering the business impact. I focus on aligning engineering and deployment metrics with high-level corporate objectives
I believe in building resilient, autonomous local and global teams by establishing clear DevOps ownership, shifting responsibilities effectively, and fostering continuous learning.
Legacy infrastructure shouldn't be a bottleneck. I champion the shift toward Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization, and modern CI/CD patterns to ensure platforms remain scalable, secure, and maintainable
While it’s important to understand what my career path looks like, I thought it might be nice to share a bit about my life outside of work.
I’m a husband, father to two daughters, and dog-dad to a Cocker Spaniel—who's a boy, just to even the numbers up a little.
I’ve always had a deep love for the outdoors and have played sports all my life, mostly rugby and football.
I will never turn down a challenge to learn something new; recently, my wife and I have taken up squash. When I'm not on the court or watching a match, you'll usually find me hiking, camping, gaming or spending time working in my garden.
As a keen DIY "expert" with a wife who is always looking for the next home improvement project, I love getting hands-on in my woodworking workshop. Appropriately named "Chris' Wood Workshop," I guess I was always destined to find a passion there.
