Engineering judgment, encoded into software.
Engineering judgment, encoded into software.
Global Automation Lead at IBM. Architected zero-failure cloud platforms for financial and data infrastructure.
US Patents in storage reliability, data sovereignty, and performance optimisation. True sovereignty is engineered, not bought.
Led the agile transformation of IBM's critical storage portfolio (Spectrum Scale & Virtualize) and fixed stalled delivery at InfoSum. Turning chaotic 'hidden factories' into predictable delivery engines.

Cam watched brilliant engineers burn out trying to bolt compliance, audit trails, and security gates onto systems that weren’t designed for them. Companies were spending millions in R&D budget not on innovation, but on invisible plumbing just to satisfy the regulator.
"The bottleneck is no longer writing code. It's applying judgment."
