Hello! I am an Independent Integration Consultant specialising primarily in the Microsoft Azure stack and Microsoft BizTalk Server. I work for a range of clients throughout the UK and Europe. I started my career in 2001 in the EDI (UNIX/Linux) space before moving to the Microsoft Platform with the release of BizTalk Server 2004. My main focus is business-to-business messaging, with an increasing element of cloud-based solutions. I am also a technical expert in high-availability and clustering for the BizTalk platform. My blog can be found at In my spare time, I`m a keen pilot and try to keep true to my roots by working with Linux; I am a massive fan of Python. ©
