I design fit-for-purpose infrastructure that holds up under pressure without torching the budget. I build and run multivendor production environments where systems must behave predictably through load, change, and failure. I own systems end-to-end: architecture, deployment, operations, and incident response. I kill manual toil with IaC and repeatable workflows, eradicate configuration drift, convert tribal knowledge into clean diagrams, runbooks, and a single source of truth. Security is built into the design through segmentation, least-privilege access, and automated controls, with systems documented and monitored to support audits, security incidents, and ongoing operations. I’ve seen the carnage of failed changes, vague handovers, audit nightmares, and undocumented systems that bleed operational risk daily. That’s why I build lean, observable, boringly stable platforms that scale without drama and cost less to run long-term. Experienced across enterprise, data centre, and cloud environments, with industry exposure spanning telecoms, vendor support, MSP operations, financial services, low-latency trading, and large-scale service providers. 🥷TECH SKILLS 🌐 Networking & Security WAN, LAN, WLAN (Meraki, UniFi), VLANs, VXLANs, BGP, OSPF, RIP, VRF, IPv6, NAT, ACLs, QoS, VPNs, DHCP, DNS, NFV, Cisco IOS, Cisco NX-OS, Dell OS10, Arista EOS, Firewalls (Palo Alto, FortiGate, SonicWall), iptables, CASB (Netskope), SIEM (Rapid7), MDM (MaaS360), Email Security (Mimecast), OpenVAS. ☁️ Cloud & Virtualisation AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, WorkSpaces, WAFR), Azure (VMs, Networking), VMware, OpenStack, Hyper-V, KVM, Proxmox, Docker, SR-IOV, SAN. 💻 Systems & Collaboration Windows Server, Linux (Permissions, Nginx), macOS, Microsoft 365, Exchange, Google Workspace, Zoom Admin, Microsoft Teams Admin. 🔐 Identity & Access Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Group Policy, ManageEngine AD360, IAM (Okta, Centrify, CyberArk), Passbolt. 🤖 Automation & IaC Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, Python (Jinja2), PowerShell, Bash, GitHub, APIs (RESTful, NETCONF, RESTCONF), Postman, YAML, JSON, XML, YANG. 🛠️ Monitoring & Operations PRTG, Zabbix, Observium, Graylog, ManageEngine NCM, Automox, AWS CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs, Wireshark, Nmap, iPerf, Cisco CIMC, Dell iDRAC, Dell OpenManage, Veeam, NetBox, Visio, Itemit.
