Brendan Faulds

Full Stack Analyst & Project Manager

I operate across the entire spectrum—from boardroom strategy to hands-on technical implementation. Where most professionals specialise, I connect: understanding large ICT ecosystems, organising people, building working solutions, and translating between business and technology.

Professional Summary

Full Stack Analyst with over 15 years delivering enterprise solutions across Finance, Health, Defence, and Telecommunications. I bridge the gap that typically exists between what the business needs and what IT delivers—not by facilitating between sides, but by genuinely understanding both. I've managed $6M implementations, coordinated 100+ stakeholders, and built the Python scripts that automated the solutions I designed. I'm equally comfortable presenting to executives, leading cross-functional teams, or diving into data matching algorithms. SAFe Agilist and Lean Portfolio Management certified.
