Senior Network & Security Architect · AI-Augmented Practice
Enterprise infrastructure depth combined with agentic AI fluency — clearer decisions, stronger technical narratives, better-prepared architecture work.
01 — Career
Progressed from Junior Presales Engineer to Senior Network Architect. Built depth across enterprise networking, wireless, SD-WAN, collaboration, security, hybrid cloud connectivity, and observability — including early SD-WAN go-to-market frameworks. Current focus: architecture leadership, technical decision support, and enterprise infrastructure advisory.
Grew from Support Engineer through Professional Services to Project Manager — IP telephony, contact center solutions, ShoreTel and VoIP platforms, and multi-site enterprise communication rollouts.
Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons), Communication and Networking. Foundation in network communications, protocols, routing, switching, and telecommunications systems.
02 — Selected Work
End-to-end SD-WAN design and proof-of-concept validation for a multi-site financial institution — application-aware routing, secure connectivity, and failover behavior proven against strict availability requirements.
SD-WAN architecture direction for an international insurance group — multi-site connectivity, centralized management, and hybrid cloud integration brought under one coherent framework.
Network architecture for a next-generation plant — converged IT/OT connectivity, industrial segmentation, and resilience designed for production environments that cannot stop.
Wireless design spanning headquarters and warehouse operations — high-density office access, ruggedized warehouse coverage, and seamless roaming under unified management.
Cisco UC migration planning from legacy voice platforms — infrastructure redesign, call routing, contact center integration, and a cutover plan the business could sign off on.
Agentic workflows for requirement definition, vendor comparison, proposal drafting, solution review, follow-up tracking, and reusable technical knowledge management.

04 — Operating Model
Purpose-built agent workflows fill the roles a support team would — research desks, writing desks, review desks. Every output still crosses my desk.
Research, vendor comparisons, and market context — gathered before the conversation starts.
research · comparison · market scansProposals, documentation, and follow-ups — drafted, structured, and consistent.
proposals · documentation · follow-upsChallenges assumptions, red-teams the design, and checks every claim against its source.
assumption checks · red-team · source validationFinal judgment, architecture fit, and the signature on the work — augmented by the same agents it governs. Nothing ships that I haven’t reviewed.
judgment · accountability · ai-augmentedDrafted, challenged, refined — then signed.
Option analysis, vendor comparisons, and assumption checks are done before the meeting — not promised after it.
Proposals, documentation, and follow-ups move at agent speed without losing engineering rigor.
Numbers, quotes, and vendor claims are traced to their source before they reach a stakeholder.
