18 years keeping enterprise networks resilient, secure, and performing. Specialising in infrastructure, datacentre operations, and cloud-connected environments.
A broad technical foundation covering infrastructure, security, and cloud — all with an operational focus.
Design, deployment and management of large-scale switching fabrics, routing protocols, and core datacentre network architecture.
End-to-end security architecture including network segmentation, VLAN design, VPN solutions, and policy enforcement across enterprise environments.
Hands-on administration of next-generation firewalls — rule-set management, threat prevention, application control, and incident response.
On-premises and hybrid Microsoft environments — Active Directory, Azure, M365, Windows Server — alongside Linux-based infrastructure and virtualisation platforms.
Integration and management of cloud infrastructure and SaaS platforms, with experience bridging on-premises environments to public cloud services.
Day-to-day management of core datacentre infrastructure, including physical and virtual compute, storage, and network fabric in high-availability environments.
Administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Debian-based systems, covering server configuration, package management, scripting, and enterprise deployments.
End-to-end delivery of IT infrastructure projects — planning, stakeholder management, change control, and coordination across technical and business teams.
I'm an experienced IT professional with an extensive background in the corporate and B2B information technology sector. Over nearly two decades I've developed deep expertise across the full stack of enterprise IT — from the physical cabling in the rack to cloud-hosted services at scale.
My career has taken me through enterprise switch and firewall management, datacentre core infrastructure, on-premises and cloud-based Microsoft and Linux platforms, and hosted and on-premises virtualisation environments.
I'm at my best when I'm solving complex, multi-layered problems — whether that's a performance bottleneck buried in a routing table, a security gap in a legacy environment, or a migration that needs to happen with zero downtime.
Infrastructure should be invisible — robust enough that nobody notices it. I build and manage systems with that goal in mind: resilient, documented, and scalable.
Security is baked into every decision, not bolted on at the end. From VLAN segmentation to firewall policy review, a proactive posture prevents the 3am call.
Corporate and B2B environments — experience working within organisations where downtime has real business impact and change management is critical.
Based in the UK. Available for on-site, hybrid, or fully remote roles and engagements.
Over 18 years in IT across infrastructure, network management, and datacentre operations.
Managing enterprise network infrastructure end-to-end — switching, routing, firewalls, and connectivity. Responsibility for network security architecture, change management, and availability across a corporate environment.
Hands-on infrastructure engineering across datacentre, server, and network layers. Involvement in major projects including virtualisation migrations and cloud integration.
Foundation years in IT administration — Windows Server, Active Directory, desktop support, and growing into network responsibilities. Built the broad technical base that underpins everything since.
Whether it's a new opportunity, a project that needs network expertise, or just a conversation about infrastructure — I'm happy to hear from you.
