Hi! I’m David, a lifelong technology enthusiast and IT professional with 15+ years of experience, primarily in the UK financial services sector. My career began in IT Support, where I discovered my passion for solving complex technical challenges. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in Server Administration, Networking, enterprise IT operations, and team leadership. I’ve been involved in numerous deployment projects and migrations, tackling everything from complex system upgrades to full-scale transitions. Every challenge—whether troubleshooting a stubborn server, managing a complex migration, or guiding a team—reinforced a simple truth: with curiosity, persistence, and sometimes a well-timed walk around the block, no problem is insurmountable. I founded and grew a Managed Service Provider (MSP) business, building and leading a high-performing team. Guiding the team through diverse technical challenges, scaling operations, and eventually selling the company taught me how to combine hands-on technical expertise with leadership and business strategy. Later, I also explored software development, drawn to the perfect blend of logic and creativity that coding allows—a foundation that continues to shape how I approach problems today. Today, I’m focused on Cloud Computing, captivated by its potential to transform businesses. I’ve gained hands-on experience with AWS serverless architectures, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines, while actively building my Cloud Resume Project and preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam. I bring a unique combination of enterprise IT experience, web development knowledge, leadership skills, and modern cloud expertise—bridging the gap between legacy systems and cloud-native solutions. As you explore my portfolio, you’ll find a professional who thrives on challenges, continuously evolves, and is passionate about learning.
