About Me

Cloud security.
Mostly opinions.

I help enterprises tighten their security, move faster, find new revenue, and cut through operational noise with smart cloud solutions. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning (well, that and coffee).

This site is my corner of the internet where I write about the stuff I find interesting β€” AWS security, cloud innovation, AI-driven solutions, and whatever else catches my attention. No corporate polish, just thoughts from someone who lives and breathes this stuff daily.

Always keen for a chat. Hit me up if you want to talk enterprise security, cloud strategy, AI, or literally anything that sparks your curiosity.

Views are my own, not my employer's. Nothing here represents AWS or any other organisation.

Navigating the cloud & 3rd party security landscape is overwhelming. AWS alone offers over 20 security, Identity and compliance services β€” and correlating them with Azure, GCP, and third-party tools like CrowdStrike, Wiz, and Palo Alto makes it exponentially more complex.

The Cloud Security & Identity Landscape is an interactive reference that maps every major AWS security service to its equivalents across clouds and vendors β€” organized by security domain.
