Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu, the worlds most widely used Linux distribution. Canonical's services help governments and businesses the world over with migrations, management and support for their Ubuntu deployments, on platforms from the smallest embedded devices to the largest hyper-scale clouds.I was part of Canonical's Consulting Architecture team, working with global customers on cloud transformation projects around OpenStack. I have deep expertise in open source distributed cloud systems at scale and across processor architectures, from hypervisors and related virtualisation technologies, physical and virtual lifecycle and configuration management, automation and orchestration, monitoring, logging, and performance analysis, at up to 99.99% operating uptime levels.I have been an Active User Contributor in the OpenStack project, an Active Technical Contributor in previous cycles, and am also a well known member of the global OpenStack operators community. In 2016 I organised the Operators MidCycle conference, bringing together over 100 members of the global operators community in Europe for the first time. I was appointed Track Chair for the Austin, Barcelona and Boston OpenStack Summits, part of the team selecting presentations for the conference, and also received an OpenStack Contributors Award in Austin for my work in the community. I also sat on various working groups for the OpenStack Foundation, and ran the only official OpenStack users group in the UK.

I was part of the founding management team at DataCentred, and the originator of the strategy and architecture to provide OpenStack based public cloud. DataCentred built and operated next generation public and private OpenStack clouds from their own tier3 datacentre facility in Manchester, UK - with customers across technology development, government, national broadcasters and the university sectors. DataCentred were at the time the only UK owned and operated OpenStack public cloud provider, and the first UK SME corporate sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation. We also operated one of the few heterogenous OpenStack public cloud platforms in the world, having launched the world’s first ARM64 based OpenStack public cloud in early 2015 in addition to our pre-existing x86 based offering. I built all of DataCentred's technical teams, and was responsible for the architecture, development and operations of all their on-demand compute and storage platforms. During this period we grew the business from a standing start to seven figure revenue, with a major blue chip customer base including the UK government.
