PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am an expert in IT, computer systems, eDiscovery, and Legal AI/Tech, as well as a proficient specialist in cybersecurity—an area in which I have received multiple international accolades. From my earliest experiences studying Computing for Business and Information Systems at the University of East Anglia through completing a Master’s in Cyber Security Technology at Northumbria University, I have cultivated a deep passion for designing, implementing, and optimizing innovative solutions in the legal and technology sectors.
Early on, I seized key opportunities to hone my technical skillset. During an internship at Accenture, I helped identify best-in-class optical character recognition software and leveraged business intelligence strategies to automate processes and create more efficient reporting. This experience sparked my enthusiasm for blending cutting-edge IT capabilities with problem-solving in complex, fast-paced environments.
Over the years, I have supported a wide range of clients—major corporations, top law firms, and government organizations—tackling their most pressing challenges in eDiscovery, digital forensics, and data governance. Having served as a Senior Information eDiscovery Manager with the Government Legal Department and previously at Consilio LLC, I have led teams in all stages of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). In particular, I have developed a strong command of industry-leading tools such as Relativity, Nuix, OpenText, and proprietary solutions, adeptly managing data ingestion, processing, review, and production for large-scale litigation and regulatory investigations.
My work with Livesilver Consulting—an independent firm I have been deeply involved with since its founding—further exemplifies my commitment to integrating cybersecurity and legal technology at a global scale. The firm’s core focus aligns with my own: we strive to protect client assets from digital threats, drive cost-effective litigation workflows, and bring forward-thinking solutions (including blockchain-based platforms and VR-enabled justice applications) to the legal industry. Livesilver Consulting has grown quickly across regions such as the UK, the Middle East, North America, and Africa, underscoring both the universal need for robust cybersecurity and the market’s rapid adoption of AI-driven eDiscovery and compliance tools.
Throughout my career, I have garnered six international awards, including a European Legal Award for my work in cybersecurity law. These honors highlight my commitment to pioneering advanced technologies—from automated document review and predictive analytics to cloud-based security frameworks—and making them practical, reliable, and accessible for organizations of every size. My dedication to ongoing research and development also stems from a passion for bridging gaps between IT, law, and corporate governance to ensure that vital information is properly protected and that justice can be served efficiently in an increasingly digital world.
In addition to my hands-on technical management and advisory roles, I prioritize thought leadership and collaboration. I frequently share insights on LinkedIn and through professional networks, discussing trends in legal AI, eDiscovery best practices, cyber defense strategies, and the future of cloud-based litigation support. My goal is to push the boundaries of what is possible in secure legal technology, championing solutions that streamline litigation while safeguarding data integrity.
Whether working alongside top-tier law firms, supporting in-house corporate teams, or advising government departments, I apply a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity frameworks, legal AI tools, and sophisticated analytics platforms to achieve high-quality, legally sound, and defensible outcomes. As the pace of innovation continues to accelerate, I remain dedicated to staying at the forefront of best practices and emerging technologies—both to protect clients’ digital assets today and to shape a safer, more transparent tech landscape for the future.
In all my endeavors, I combine technical acumen with a results-oriented mindset, believing strongly in the power of collaboration, professional integrity, and lifelong learning. My track record in eDiscovery, legal AI/Tech, and cybersecurity reflects not only the depth of my expertise but also my unwavering commitment to enabling justice, efficiency, and innovation in the ever-evolving intersection of law and technology.

Growing a business or transitioning to a new HR system is great but without the right data and operational structure, things can get messy quickly.
I work with UK businesses and software implementation consultants who need practical, risk-aware HR expertise. I specialise strictly in two high-stakes areas: HRIS System Document Migrations and Complex Employee Relations (managing disciplinaries, grievances, and workplace disputes).
By bringing data discipline and UK employment law together, I ensure your new HR software is populated flawlessly, your historical files remain GDPR-compliant, and your staff issue documentation is completely bulletproof.
✔ CORE SPECIALISM 1: PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC HRIS DOCUMENT MIGRATION
When transitioning to a new HRIS, internal teams get caught out manually moving thousands of loose legacy files. I act as an expert data-cleansing and migration gatekeeper. Because our file-structuring protocol is executed securely outside your live software environment, we support migrations into or out of any HR platform on the market.
We handle the messy legacy extraction and deliver a "Bulk Import-Ready" package tailored to your destination software's exact import specifications, saving your team hundreds of manual hours. My services include:
• Pre-migration file pool audits and diagnostic folder mapping.
• Algorithmic filename string sanitisation (removing trailing spaces and illegal characters).
• Unique ID reconciliation to completely eliminate record misallocation.
• Compliant "Catch-All" taxonomy routing for obscure legacy documents.
• Complete cross-platform compatibility (Workday, HiBob, Rippling, Deel, Personio, BambooHR, CIPHR, IRIS, Moorepay, SharePoint, and Google Drive).
• Accredited Ecosystems: Breathe HR (Certified Partner) & Employment Hero.
✔ CORE SPECIALISM 2: EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & STAFF DISPUTES
I provide highly structured, objective support for England-based employers facing sensitive workplace challenges:
• Managing formal disciplinary and grievance processes from start to finish.
• Drafting workplace dispute, absence management, and hearing documentation.
• Creating compliance-safe contracts of employment and employee handbooks.
• Strategic risk-aware decision support aligned strictly with ACAS guidelines.
✔ WHY CORPORATE PARTNERS WORK WITH ME
• Flat-Fee, Value-Based Pricing: No unpredictable hourly billing or scope creep.
• Strict Data Security: I do not require live system login credentials for bulk cleansing.
• Dual Expertise: I understand both the IT data matrix and the legal compliance behind the record.
I work best with fast-growing SMEs, startups, and independent HR software implementation consultants who need a trusted backend delivery partner to keep projects on schedule.

This goes beyond spelling to cover punctuation conventions, date and number formats, legal and regulatory terminology, tone, and register. Particularly valuable for US companies entering UK and EU markets, or for compliance and corporate documents requiring British English as standard.
Full website copy review and proofreading is also offered, including end-to-end US-to-UK localisation for companies launching in British and European markets.

— Former President & CEO of a regulated financial institution with hands-on experience producing KPMG-standard compliance frameworks, AML/KYC policy documentation, fund flow narratives, regulatory licence applications, and cross-border payments regulatory filings. I review, edit, and write compliance documentation for fintech startups, regulated financial institutions, payment institutions, and iGaming operators across UK, EU, Gibraltar, and Malta jurisdictions.
TECHNICAL PAYMENTS & INFRASTRUCTURE DOCUMENTATION
— Experienced reviewing and editing payment systems technical documentation, API guides, infrastructure narratives, and product specifications for payments and fintech clients. I bridge the gap between technical teams and regulatory or commercial audiences.
CURRICULUM REVIEW & EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
— Credentialed English teacher (GaPSC, grades 6–12) with experience in curriculum development, SAT/standardised test preparation, academic writing coaching, and ESL instruction for adults and young learners. I review and edit educational materials, course content, exam preparation resources, and English language learning curricula for EdTech platforms and independent publishers.
All editing, proofreading, and translation review is human-produced — no AI, no machine translation. For document creation and drafting I combine efficient modern tools with expert human judgement to deliver polished, precise final content.
Available Monday to Friday (8am–10pm GMT/BST). Weekend and urgent turnaround available at a premium rate. Fast, professional, and precise.
Pursuing accreditation with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
