About

As a Vice President – SRE & Cloud Engineering at NatWest Group, I work with large-scale initiatives that strengthen reliability, observability, automation, and cloud modernization across mission-critical financial platforms. With deep, hands-on expertise in SRE, AIOps, FinOps, Cloud Architecture, Kubernetes, and modern DevSecOps, I focus on building systems that are secure, scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient at enterprise and regulatory scale. My work centres on transforming complex, distributed environments into self-healing, autonomous, predictable platforms by driving: SRE & Reliability Engineering: SLO frameworks, error budgets, and advanced resiliency patterns AIOps & Intelligent Automation: Proactive detection, reduced MTTR, and automated remediation FinOps & Cloud Efficiency: Data-driven cost optimisation across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. End-to-End Observability: Metrics, traces, logs, real-time analytics, and actionable insights Modern Cloud Architecture: Kubernetes, GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code, policy-as-code, and secure-by-design patterns. Zero-Downtime Deployments: Fully compliant, regulated-cloud delivery pipelines built for continuous availability. I’m passionate about engineering excellence, maturing operational reliability, and fostering a culture where decisions are guided by data, automation, and strong SRE principles. I regularly share insights on SRE, AIOps, Observability, Kubernetes, FinOps, and MLOps, and enjoy mentoring teams as they evolve into high-performing, reliability-driven engineering organizations. If you’re exploring SRE strategy, cloud transformation, platform engineering, or AIOps adoption, I’d be happy to connect.
