I'm a passionate Computer Systems & Network Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience spanning enterprise IT support, network infrastructure, and virtualization. My journey started in Mauritius supporting offshore maritime IT operations, and has evolved into architecting full-stack virtualized environments in Melbourne.
Currently designing high-performance infrastructure using Proxmox VE, OPNsense, and open-source security tools at Wabify, while also contributing to IT operations at Faster Financial (CashFaster). I specialize in bridging the gap between traditional IT operations and modern cloud-native infrastructure with a strong focus on cybersecurity.
Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology at Melbourne Polytechnic while actively building production-grade infrastructure — because the best learning happens when theory meets real-world challenges.
Core competencies honed across 5+ years of real-world infrastructure challenges.
Designing and deploying production-grade virtualized environments with Proxmox VE, managing VM lifecycles, storage, and high-availability configurations.
Implementing multi-layered security with firewalls, VPNs, network segmentation, and zero-trust principles. Fortinet, Palo Alto, and OPNsense expertise.
Building resilient networks with VLANs, DNS, DHCP, NAT, and advanced routing. CompTIA Network+ certified with hands-on enterprise experience.
Managing Linux and Windows Server environments, Active Directory, backup strategies with Veeam, and enterprise application support across diverse industries.
Migrating workloads between cloud providers and on-premise infrastructure. AWS to self-hosted transitions with zero downtime and cost optimization.
Diagnosing complex infrastructure issues across network, systems, and application layers. From offshore maritime environments to fintech platforms.
A snapshot of the infrastructure, security and systems work I enjoy most — practical delivery with measurable operational outcomes.
Lifted a sensitive financial environment from a simple hosted setup toward segmented, production-grade infrastructure with secure admin access, service isolation and stronger operational control.
Designed and operated virtualized infrastructure using Proxmox VE and OPNsense, supporting secure networking, remote access, traffic control and service resilience.
Delivered hands-on support across Windows, Linux, Google Workspace, Office 365 and endpoint environments, with a strong focus on clear troubleshooting and dependable outcomes.
