Hi, I’m Phil. Thanks for visiting.
I’m currently a Senior Engineering Manager at BAE Systems, with ~12 years across aerospace and defence (including maritime and land programmes). My background is rooted in manufacturing and delivery, with a wide base of senior-level experience across:
For more detail head to About, where I break down my roles, experience and the work that led me here.
I’m developing into Solution Architecture because it’s the natural extension of what I’ve been doing in practice for years: taking messy cross-functional problems and turning them into clear systems, decisions, and delivery paths that hold up under scrutiny.
I’m building four core case studies as progressive architecture demonstrators (each chosen to grow my AWS capability through hands-on work). You’ll find them under Case Studies:
Alongside the builds, I’m working through formal learning and certification (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect - Associate). More detail can be found in About -> Solution Architecture.
Additionally, the main “Case Studies” page includes a portfolio grid, which contains a searchable set of cards demonstrating case studies and experience that I have completed through my professional career.
Start with Case Studies -> pick one project -> review the architecture artefacts and repository.
