About

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.

Based in Ōtepoti / Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand.

What I Do

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.

I work at the intersection of enterprise architecture and the humans who actually have to live inside the systems we build. Strong opinions, loosely held. I build things, write about what I find, and call out what doesn’t work — including my own prior positions.

Currently building QualityFlow, exploring knowledge graphs for compliance, and running ThinkDifferent — a workplace neurodiversity community.

Neurodiversity

I’m openly AuDHD and an advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace. I’m a certified Good Yarns facilitator and work with Beehyve Health on workplace neurodiversity programmes.

I write regularly about what it’s like to think differently in organisations that weren’t designed for it.
