👋 Hello! I'm James

Tech has been my home for over 17 years in many diverse forms: from my start in IT support, moving to sysadmin, consulting, and now cyber security presales.

I’m a Field CTO for Threat Intelligence, covering the APJ region at Trellix. It’s through this job that I have the opportunity to work with customers all over APJ, talking everything intelligence.

Since 2019 I’ve been working in sales engineering at several global technology vendors including Trellix, Digital Shadows, and RSA Security.

Broad expertise

As a career generalist I’ve been exposed to a wide scope spanning cyber security, threat intelligence, risk management, identity, infrastructure, and a bunch more in between. I’m definitely more of a jack-of-all-trades, though I do currently have an additional specialisation in threat intelligence.

Industry speaking

More recently I’ve been active at industry events, including AISA CyberCon Canberra and ISACA. Once something that terrified me, I now enjoy public speaking at events and love the marketing aspects of my day job!

Home lab

As a sales engineer I don’t always get time ‘on the tools’ like I used to, so I use my home lab to learn when I can. Right now I’m working on Kubernetes, to build upon a solid understanding of Docker, and I’m exploring AI (like literally everyone else right now.)

I love meeting new people in the industry - feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn!
