An IT strategist and architect with twenty-five years of delivery across Australia's most demanding sectors. Brisbane-based. Engaged directly.
Verge Tech runs lean by design. Strategy, architecture and program leadership delivered by one principal — Jon Spivey — with a curated bench of partners when scale demands it.
Twenty-five years across Defence, Government, Mining, Healthcare, Banking, Transport, Utilities and Airports. From classified network design to active-active datacentres, hybrid cloud strategy to satellite ground systems. The thread is the same: build architectures that hold under load, ship roadmaps that survive a change of CIO, and keep a single accountable line from the boardroom to the rack.
The current focus is the verge: AI infrastructure, sovereign space systems, and the security architecture both require. Engagements typically run between three and eighteen months — long enough to ship, short enough to keep the bench sharp.
Architecture and strategy at the level where the trade-offs are real and the accountability is single.
