Large-scale & regulated
Architectures and guidance that work where compliance and availability both matter—government, defence, utilities, telco—with real deadlines and operational constraints.
// Security architecture
Resilient, compliant infrastructure—aligned with how teams build and run systems.
I work with organisations on network and perimeter security, cloud and industrial systems—architectures and operations that fit real constraints and delivery pace, without shelf-ware or theatre.

How I work
Architectures and controls that fit how teams build and run systems—resilient, compliant, no theatre. What gets deployed is what auditors see.
I focus on closing the gap between regulation and engineering: clear patterns and guardrails so compliance and delivery line up, and security supports rather than blocks.
I’ve done this across government, defence, utilities and telecoms—large, multi-country, mission-critical. I’ve seen the constraints; I help organisations navigate them.
In practice
Network, cloud and industrial
Perimeter, cloud and industrial security in one consistent approach, so organisations don’t have to juggle multiple vendors or fill gaps between them.
Security that ships
Patterns and SOC processes that teams can use. Governance that doesn’t slow delivery to a crawl.
Focus areas
Network & perimeter
Segmentation, secure connectivity and hardened perimeters so the network supports the business instead of being the weak link.
Cloud & modern stack
Security that fits how workloads run in the cloud: IAM, network controls, workload protection and visibility for compliance and control.
Industrial & critical
OT/IT boundaries, monitoring and change discipline so critical systems stay resilient and teams can detect and respond when it matters.
SOC & operations
Monitoring, triage and escalation that scale—so the SOC helps the organisation instead of drowning in noise.
Architecture & governance
Requirements turned into concrete patterns and guardrails so teams know what “good” looks like and can move without constant security bottlenecks.
Experience
Senior Security Architect
European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (Government Agency, 501–1000 employees).
- Security architecture that lets large-scale EU systems meet legal and operational constraints without blocking delivery.
- Cross-functional alignment so controls are understood and adopted, not imposed.
Security Architect
Defense and space manufacturing (Public Company, 10,001+ employees), working in engineering and technical domains on security architectures for critical systems.
- Architectures that keep mission-critical defence and aerospace systems secure by design.
- Patterns and guardrails that teams could reuse across complex, long-lived platforms.
Senior Network and Security Engineer for Vodafone Group Services
Network and security engineering for large-scale enterprise and carrier-grade environments.
- Connectivity and security services that supported Vodafone Group with reliability and visibility.
- More robust, observable platforms so operations could detect and respond faster.
IT Security Consultant
Network Security Consultant and Technical Team Leader of the Security Operation Center at ACEA S.p.A.
- A SOC that gave the utility clear visibility and faster triage and escalation.
- Processes and tooling that scaled with the organisation instead of drowning it in alerts.
