“I see myself as a tech generalist; a jack of all trades – mostly in IT infrastructure but occasionally venturing into development and data. My career has been within the finance sector and more recently iGaming. I have just completed 10 years in the iGaming sector, which was certainly an education in seeing online operations at scale. I am a ‘Manxie’, born on the Isle of Man, but over the years I have worked and lived in several global locations. During my career I have led global infrastructure projects, playing a part in strategy, governance, mergers and acquisitions efforts for international financial services companies.”

“That said, technology is – and always will be – the thing that energises me. Previously as a Site Reliability Engineer, I was often the person who logged in and found the root cause when everyone else had given up.”

“I see what Stacuity offers as being similar to when Neobanks came along to the banking sector and said ‘Sure! Let the user create virtual sub accounts, give them names, schedule regular payments into them, multiple currencies? No problem! While traditional banks are still agonisingly shuffling paper over a matter of weeks.”

“Stacuity is busting through a load of similar barriers in mobile telecoms and delivering that functionality to developers. The opportunity to join a company that is breaking new ground within a typically slow moving, traditional sector doesn’t happen every day.”

”It’s all about keeping the lights on, but to a high standard – Capacity planning and implementation, incident response, resilience, monitoring are all going to be major priorities.”
