I work where media meets infrastructure.

My job is building the systems that help newsrooms get the right story on air faster than anyone else. That means creating pipelines that ingest and process incoming news clips, surface user-generated content from social platforms, and give journalists the tools they need to transform raw footage into a verified, attributed story ready for broadcast.

It’s fast-moving, high-stakes work — and I love the challenge of building the technology that quietly makes it possible.

Much of my focus is on infrastructure: designing scalable, highly available systems that keep working when the pressure is highest. I spend a lot of time with Kubernetes and containerised architectures, making sure the systems behind the scenes are as resilient as the newsroom is demanding.

Earlier in my career, I brought the same approach to the security domain, helping containerise firewall systems built to detect and prevent fraud and scams.

Outside of work, I’m drawn to puzzles and strategy games — Wordle, Mastermind, Simon Tatham’s Undead. I enjoy not just solving them, but understanding the strategies behind them. There’s a particular satisfaction in breaking a complex problem down until the elegant solution becomes obvious.
