Core Competencies
Experience
Senior Solutions Architect Nov 2020 – Present
Amazon Web Services Sydney, Australia

Lead cloud strategy and solution architecture for tier-1 enterprise customers in aviation, broadcast media, and streaming. Work directly with CTOs, CIOs, Head of Cloud, and Engineering Leads on platform infrastructure, security, and commercial decisions.

Platform Infrastructure & Cloud Migration

  • Ran the full cloud migration for an IPTV provider — Control Tower landing zone, networking, security guardrails. Moved them off co-located data centres and cut their physical DC footprint significantly.
  • Led a landing zone overhaul for a national public broadcaster whose AWS environment had grown messy over several years. Designed Control Tower with automated account vending and consistent guardrails. Secured the professional services engagement.
  • Helped a multicultural broadcaster through a large migration — tagging strategy, cost reporting, PKI architecture, Immersion Days and workshops.

AI/ML Platform Enablement

  • Built cloud platform foundations for generative AI apps, transcription platforms, personalisation engines, and fraud detection systems.
  • Stood up an enterprise AI workbench for a major airline using SageMaker Studio, unblocking immediate use cases while the broader data platform RFP was still in flight.
  • Built PoCs for vishing detection using GenAI transcript analysis, and an agentic content lifecycle workflow using RAG and video analysis models.
  • Ran AI/ML incubation programs with several customers — design sprints, prompt engineering workshops, model evaluation, Bedrock enablement.

Data Platform & Modernisation

  • Led data modernisation for a national broadcaster, moving them to a data mesh architecture with Data Lake and DataZone. One of the first production deployments of DataZone in the region.
  • Designed an advertising analytics platform for a streaming provider on AWS-native services, supporting ad targeting and revenue growth.

Broadcast Media & Live Event Architecture

  • Designed auto-scaling infrastructure for global live broadcasts — Olympics, FIFA Women's and Men's World Cup, AFL Grand Finals. Millions of concurrent viewers, zero downtime.
  • Built a FAST channel management solution on AWS Elemental Channel Assembly handling ad-placement detection, bulk programming, and identity integration. Picked up by a major broadcaster and running in production.
  • Built a DR ad-insertion platform for a broadcaster. When their primary vendor failed during a major sporting final, the DR solution kicked in, served over a million ads, and saved a significant revenue hit.
  • Designed cloud-based MAM deployments, digital channel platforms for rapid launch of new streaming channels, and hybrid broadcast workflows.

Commercial & Strategic Impact

  • Led the technical response for a major broadcaster's hyperscaler RFQ. Per-unit cost analysis changed how the customer evaluated providers — positioned AWS for a multi-year, multi-million dollar renewal.
  • Worked directly with C-level execs across multiple customers on cloud strategy, contributing to migration commitments, PPA renewals, and new workload adoption.
  • Filed product feature requests across Personalize, MediaTailor, Rekognition, SageMaker, and Redshift based on field observations. Co-ran industry symposiums, Summit activations, and GenAI workshops for hundreds of attendees.
