Hi, I'm Will, Nice to meet you. I help mid‑sized and multinational businesses simplify, secure and scale their technology stack, drive innovation and make great products. With a background in both consulting and end-user environments, I've a practical approach that balances functionality, cost and innovation. My recent work successes include: Overseeing an international CRM consolidation in the manufacturing space. Architecting and managing the creation of a Fintech JV infrastructure platform. Adopting the technical lead role for a semi-custom casino EGM product. Spearheading a data governance and management initiative, creating a data ownership and stewardship culture, designing sensitivity and retention solution. Leading AI and RPA initiatives, across areas like code review, avatar-based videos, live translation Over the last few years, I have also grown a single-person IT function at Nexteq into an international, multi-disciplinary team, moved the estate onto Microsoft 365 and SAP Business One on AWS; put sensible governance in place (steering committee, risk management, project portfolio, service delivery KPIs). We run follow‑the‑sun 24×5 support, handling 500+ requests/month with ~4.9/5 CSAT score. I've consolidated and unified ERP across 13 legal entities spanning 16 time zones and multiple languages (including Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Slovenian) — one product catalogue, consistent intercompany flows and reporting. Additionally created and developed a D&A team to curate data and produce beautiful and functional data stories and dashboards. I’ve also previously designed and certified a PCI‑DSS compliant currency trading infrastructure platform (and later trimmed its run cost without denting resilience). Comfortable in the boardroom and equally happy with a whiteboard and a wiring diagram. I'm fluent in international business, culturally comfortable in diverse environments and self-motivated from fifteen years as an entrepreneur. Also a chartered member of the BCS and lifelong learner. I speak Spanish to basic conversational (B1) standard as well as some (rusty) French and German. After hours I publish practical home‑automation and period‑home improvement notes — what worked and what broke first in my blog CTRL+ALT+DELusions. No influencer aspirations here; I'm just a Gen‑X tinkerer with a lot of spare electronics. I can help you with period home automation and overseas home monitoring.
