Get to know the people behind Layer8 — friendly, human-first problem solvers who love making tech simple.
With over 13 years in the industry, I've worked across the full spectrum of IT—from operating systems and programming to networks, cybersecurity, and virtualisation. If it plugs in, runs software, or connects to something else, I've probably fixed it.
Fun fact: Have a tricky tech issue? I'd love to hear about it.
I help protect business by keeping their systems secure from evolving cyber threats. From defending against malware to managing critical updates and delivering security awareness training; my goal is to make cybersecurity simple, effective, and accessible.
Fun fact: I change my passwords more than I change my socks.
I'm an IT Systems Lead with over 7 years of experience—and a lifelong passion for tech. What started as a hobby turned into a career helping businesses run smoothly through stable, efficient systems.
Fun fact: I bought a £70 screwdriver from a YouTube tech channel just to take hardware apart — sure, a cheaper one would’ve worked… but where’s the fun in that?
As a Network Lead, I design and maintain the infrastructure that keeps data flowing reliably and securely—whether it's between devices, sites, or clouds.
Fun fact: I trained as an electrician in Norway—then moved to the UK and rewired my whole career into networking. Different cables, same obsession with clean connections.
