From the Server Room
to the Boardroom

I've been working in the Australian IT industry since 2007, starting hands-on in server rooms and building my way up to technology leadership. Over the years I've worked across managed service providers and enterprise environments, gaining deep expertise in infrastructure, cloud, networking, and cybersecurity.

In 2016, I founded Lumity Technology Solutions — a Perth-based MSP focused on delivering premium IT support and tailored technology solutions to small and medium businesses. As Managing Director, I grew the business from the ground up, building a reputation for exceptional service and technical excellence.

In 2025, Lumity merged with Austin Technology, where I now serve as CTO. Together, we support over 200 Perth organisations with managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and unified communications.
