Background

A technical career with an unconventional route.

My professional technology work began in 2000. Since then it has moved through systems administration, telecommunications, company building, field engineering, infrastructure, software and practical operations.

The work changes.
The method persists.

Across very different roles, the useful part has been the same: understand the system, identify what actually matters, and make it work reliably.

That has meant moving comfortably between software and physical systems, technical detail and operational constraints, individual users and production infrastructure.

From systems support to software.

Professional technology work begins

Systems administration, networking, Apple and Windows support, Xerox systems and customer-facing technical work.

Telecommunications field infrastructure

Live cable plant, RF diagnostics, outside-plant maintenance, voice/data services and network-operations coordination.

Director of Information Systems

Multi-site infrastructure, Microsoft and Cisco systems, VoIP, remote access and leadership of a technical team across seven legal offices.

Fletch-Tech System Solutions, Inc.

Founded and led a cross-platform IT, networking and VoIP company. Acquired by Nexcentri, LLC in 2007; technical delivery continued within the combined organisation through 2009.

VoIP, networks and international technical delivery

Business leadership, production SIP/VoIP engineering, systems consultancy, vendor coordination and multi-vendor infrastructure across US, UK and international work.

Practical systems, field and operational work in Scotland

Public-sector IT, hospitality systems, skilled trades, marine operations, procurement and logistics — broadening the practical understanding of how systems operate under real constraints.

Independent software development

Creator and developer of Cleverfeets, bringing the same evidence-first systems approach into software for understanding complex digital estates.

Historical professional certification.

Earlier in my career I held Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP), Apple Certified Mac Technician (ACMT) and Apple Certified iOS Technician (ACiT) certifications.

Apple systems remain one part of a much broader technical background spanning software, networking, communications, hardware, Windows, Linux and mixed-platform environments.
