I'm a network, security and cloud infrastructure specialist with over 24 years of experience in the IT industry. In my early career, I focused on network and security, with expertise in designing and implementing secure network architectures for organisations of all sizes... Over the past 5 years, I've shifted my focus towards cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS and some GCP. I've worked on a wide range of projects, from deploying AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) and working with Direct Connect, to using Terraform to automate AWS environment deployment and configuring on-prem networking devices with Ansible. I've also implemented Zscaler ZIA and ZPA, leveraging APIs and Terraform to automate and streamline the deployment process... Welcome! This site is a place for me to share some details about interesting projects I've been working on, new technology that I think looks interesting (and hopefully fun.) Somewhere for me to document my learning of network automation and hopefully to help..
