“My experience bridges the physical and digital — spanning construction, civil infrastructure, and enterprise IT. After retraining in technology, I now deliver complex IT infrastructure projects with the grounded insight of a Construction Project Manager and the forward-thinking perspective of an IT professional.”

Project Manager – Global Defence Contractor

Initially led the £30m full refurbishment of a three-storey secure office facility. Oversaw design coordination, stakeholder engagement, and multidisciplinary consultant management — including architects, structural engineers, MEP specialists, and security advisors.

Managed the tendering process and contractor onboarding, delivering the project under stringent security constraints.

Since then, I have transitioned into a client-side IT infrastructure role. I am currently leading early-stage design (RIBA Stages 1–2) for multiple infrastructure projects — including a new-build data centre and a sitewide fibre ring main upgrade. Responsibilities include coordinating internal stakeholders and external consultants, validating technical scope, and de-risking delivery pathways.

I act as the interface between business units, engineering and operations, and security teams to ensure compliance, scalability, and alignment with the wider organisational strategy.
