Core expertise

Depth in infrastructure.
Range in engineering.

A

Virtualisation & datacentre

vSphere architecture and operations, lifecycle management, capacity, migrations and high availability across production and DR.

B

VDI & end-user platforms

Horizon design and upgrades, linked-to-instant-clone migration, DEM, FSLogix and automated golden-image delivery.

C

Backup & resilience

Veeam backup and replication, RPO/RTO design, recovery plans, testing and operationally credible disaster recovery.

D

Go systems & automation

Production Go services, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, queues, event-driven processing, cloud deployment and reliability patterns.

Infrastructure track record

Change without losing control.

My strongest work lives where availability, migration risk, user experience and operational detail meet.

01

Primary datacentre migration

Planned and executed a vSphere 7 migration using replication for production workloads and lift-and-shift moves for VDI and DR, limiting critical-service downtime to minutes.

02

Horizon platform transformation

Designed the VDI environment, moved physical users to virtual desktops, then migrated linked-clone pools to instant clones with DEM and FSLogix.

03

Disaster recovery capability

Evaluated options, designed Veeam backup and replication, established recovery objectives, documented runbooks and made DR testing routine.

04

Windows platform automation

Centralised AD and WSUS operations and used MDT/WDS automation to cut OS deployment time by 50%, desktop support time by 40% and help-desk demand by 30%.

Experience

Built through ownership, not observation.

From enterprise operations to hands-on application development, the consistent thread has been accountable delivery.
