Strong opinions, loosely held.
Pragmatic human architecture.
I work at the intersection of enterprise architecture and the humans who actually have to live inside the systems we build. Thirty years in. Still learning faster than ever. I build things, write about what I find, and call out what doesn't work — including my own prior positions.

SpeccingMarch 2026 · Otepoti, NZ. Recently left a Head of Architecture role. Taking stock, building things I've been wanting to build, and figuring out what comes next.
Currently: rebuilding this site, developing QualityFlow for the ANZ food safety market, writing on Substack about digital leadership and neurodiversity, and running ThinkDifferent — a workplace neurodiversity community.
If you're working on something interesting at the intersection of architecture, AI, and people — get in touch.
Thirty years in technology. Started when you had to care about how things worked. Management and Law background. AuDHD — combined autism and ADHD — which turns out to be a feature, not a bug, for the kind of systems thinking this work requires.
I've led architecture across complex enterprise estates — ERP, integration platforms, data, AI — and I've watched enough $15M initiatives fail to know that the technology is rarely the actual problem.
Based in Otepoti / Dunedin. Certified Good Yarns facilitator. Writes nearly weekly on topics around digital leadership and what it's like to think differently in organisations that weren't designed for it.
