Cloud Economics & Sovereignty
Cloud bills rarely blow up on compute — they blow up on egress, lock-in, and architecture decisions nobody revisits. Here's where I work through what actually drives the spend, when "just put it in the cloud" stops being the cheap answer, and how to keep control of your own stack.

The interesting compute is moving away from a handful of mega-regions and out toward the user. This is my thinking on edge and distributed architecture — why latency, data gravity, and sovereignty keep pushing workloads outward, and what that changes about how you build.

Most of what gets called an AI strategy is really an infrastructure decision wearing a different hat. This is the broad end of my AI thinking — what the models actually are, where the compute has to sit, what enterprises keep getting wrong on the way in, and the running commentary I've given on all of it.

Training gets the headlines; inference gets the bill. Here's where I dig into the economics of running AI in production — when an API stops being cheaper than self-hosting, where inference should physically live, and how to stop the per-query cost from eating the margin.

Chatbots were the demo; autonomous agents that take real actions are the product. This is my thinking on the patterns that hold up in production — what to let an agent do on its own, where to keep a human in the loop, and how tools and protocols like MCP make it work at scale.

Agentic AI changes the threat model: the caller is no longer a person, and the guardrails can't live in a PDF. Here's where I work through API security when the caller is an agent, zero trust in practice, and governance as an operating model — controls that trigger, gates where decisions are irreversible, and audit trails that survive contact with a model.

Most digital transformations succeed at the technology and fail at the business. Here's where I look at what actually moves a programme — the operating model, the funding, the decisions you can't delegate — and why the platform choices are usually the easy part.

The streaming wars were won on content; the next ones will be won on experience. Here's where I look at what that shift means for media — why discovery, personalisation, and real-time delivery now matter more than the size of the library.
