Technology leader / Architect / Builder
I'm Andrew Riley — Riles to most people. I bring a curious, practical perspective to technology decisions, shaped by work across enterprise, cloud, healthcare and engineering.
Develop people, build architecture capability and connect customers, partners and teams across ANZ and APAC.

My professional story
A visual overview from the first page of my CV.
View the full CV on Canva ↗Five steps, with a real example of each.
01
Professional perspective · Digital health
I asked whether a platform could support changing care models, multidisciplinary teams and different patient experiences. Those questions shape the requirements before the technology choice.
02
Personal lab · AI architecture
In my multi-agent lab, Git holds reviewed decisions, an episodic API holds session history, and each harness keeps its own scratchpad. The design makes authority and hand-offs explicit.
03
Professional experiment · Regional connectivity
I connected a digital stethoscope to Webex over Starlink and tested calls from a regional NSW location with no 4G throughput. It explored what was possible and identified the need for more rigorous testing.
04
Professional community · Partner capability
I helped bring the Cisco Partner Architect Exchange to life, with a planned cohort of 75 architects from Australia and New Zealand: a shared forum for the people helping customers operate and transform.
05
Personal lab · Testing assumptions
When reasoning models added narration, latency and malformed tool calls to my agent workflow, I switched model class. The lesson: judge fit by useful output, resource cost and human cleanup.
More than the work
Away from the work, you'll find me mixing music, making things and spending time with family. Music, wellbeing and time to switch off are part of how I stay curious and connected.
