Hi 👋, I’m Tim, a Belfast-based Cloud, DevOps & DevSecOps Consultant with a PhD in Computer Vision and a long-standing fascination with emerging technology. I’ve been around the block in work at this point so I am in an architecture role, and although I love the big-picture perspective and solving real-world business problems, I’m also a proud engineer at the core and do everything I can to stay hands-on.
☀️ By Day
Cloud & DevSecOps Strategy
My primary purpose is to help organisations align tech goals with business objectives, and building security into their pipelines and workflows from day one.Enterprise Architecture
Designing secure, scalable systems—often at the edge of legacy and modern stack integration. I pride myself on my ability to truly understand the architectural culture and motivations of my clients.Security-First Design
Backed by CISSP and CCSP certifications, I understand the importance of process and discipline when it comes to technology solutions and governance.Kubernetes Native Engineering
From ArgoCD to Operator SDK, I’m at home in the K8s ecosystem and simply love Golang!
🌖 By Night
Investing & Capital Markets
I enjoy trying out on all things investment, stocks and shares, ISAs, ETFs and so on - I have been known to say “buy the dip and HODL” as if I know what I’m doing on occasion (I don’t).Crypto Trading
Unlike traditional capital markets, the crypto markets are far more accessible to the average finance nerd like myself, and there also open 24/7… 😏AI Research
Like many of us, I can’t help but be fascinated by the emerging world of generative and agentic AI, so I spend a surprising amount of time tinkering with it.3D Printing
Thats right, I really did print a printer… Twice. Also useful for random brackets and toys for the kids(/me).
