Steven Johnston

Owning end-to-end technical design, setting standards across concurrent delivery programmes, and leading complex multi-vendor deployments for enterprise and public sector clients. I'm designing multi-region cloud architectures, building AI agents that automate network operations, and leading teams of engineers through some of the most complex infrastructure programmes in Scotland.

The arc from hands on engineer to solutions architect to technical leader gives me something that's genuinely hard to find: the ability to operate credibly at every layer, from a routing table to a boardroom conversation about strategic direction.

SC cleared and operating at Lead Architect level, I bring technical expertise across networking, security, cloud, and AI-driven automation, alongside the leadership capability to drive programmes from initial concept through to production. My work spans global enterprise and public sector environments, including critical national infrastructure and key clients such as the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, Scottish Prisons Service and the Crown Office.

Over the past two years I've been at the forefront of integrating agentic AI into infrastructure operations, designing and deploying agentic automation platforms that reduce manual effort, accelerate delivery, and surface intelligence that teams can act on. I believe the next generation of infrastructure leadership demands both architectural rigour and the ability to harness emerging technology responsibly.
