# about
I run the platform that other platforms deploy onto.
Currently founding and leading SAP's BTP Operational Delivery team — the group responsible for operational reliability and platform governance of SAP's Sovereign Cloud. Before that: security-first GCP and Azure engagements for the NHS, AXA and Lloyds Banking, and cloud platform builds going back to 2015.
