10 years of progressive experience bridging enterprise network infrastructure and intelligent automation. Proven track record designing and deploying multi-vendor solutions — Juniper, FortiGate — and building internal tooling that turns operational complexity into repeatable, scalable workflows.
Designing and deploying automation workflows that replace manual provisioning processes across Saicom's network infrastructure. Building internal tooling for integrating Twyn CRM, NetBox APIs, and other third-party platforms into a cohesive full-stack environment (React + FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Docker).
Led design and deployment of SD-WAN solutions across VeloCloud, FortiGate and ViBE platforms for enterprise clients. Built a Python-based network configuration generator with NetBox API integration, reducing provisioning time significantly. Owned high and low-level design documentation and client-facing architecture presentations.
Provisioned and configured Juniper, FortiGate and SBC (Oracle ACME) equipment for enterprise deployments. Developed configuration templates to standardise delivery and reduce human error across the provisioning team.
Escalation point for complex network incidents across a multi-vendor service provider environment. Handled BGP routing, MPLS circuits, and firewall filtering across CPE and core infrastructure.
Full lifecycle deployment of multi-vendor CPE and core network solutions including Juniper, Cisco, FortiGate, Checkpoint, and Aritar SD-WAN. Delivered client-facing architecture presentations and authored comprehensive network documentation and support procedures.
Remote troubleshooting on Cisco infrastructure within Vodacom's managed services network. Handled VRF routing, QoS, BGP, and utilisation analysis for enterprise clients.
Configured and monitored MikroTik, Cambium and Radwin wireless infrastructure. Managed VLAN/IP addressing, PRTG monitoring, and first-line client support.
I approach problems by understanding the full system first — how each piece talks to the next — before reaching for a solution. Whether it's a network topology or an automation pipeline, I care about making things work reliably and simply.
Certifications lapsed — knowledge and hands-on application remains current through 10 years of production experience.
Curious by nature. I don't just configure networks — I build the tools that configure them. Currently exploring AI-integrated automation, LLM-driven infrastructure tooling, and full-stack internal platforms.
