About
Built on Uptime
I'm an IT Infrastructure & Network Engineer with 7+ years of progressive experience across enterprise network administration, systems support, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure. I design, implement, secure, and optimize complex network environments for maximum uptime and business continuity — from ISP backbone infrastructure, firewalls, and servers to cloud platforms and end-user environments.
I've independently led large-scale IT deployments, resolved complex infrastructure issues through root-cause analysis, and supported 300+ business and individual clients. I hold an MSc in Computer & Communications Engineering and globally recognized certifications from Google, Microsoft, and Cisco.

02 · Network & ISP
Network & ISP Infrastructure
ISP backbone management, FortiGate firewall administration, VPN tunnels, VLANs, DNS/DHCP/QoS, and multi-vendor routing and switching across MikroTik, Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Huawei — 3,200+ subscribers supported, with recurring outages engineered away through root-cause analysis.
03 · Gaming Venues
Gaming Lounge Delivery
End-to-end delivery of gaming venues, from floor plan to opening day — the flagship among them a complete 44-workstation center designed and deployed within one week, zero post-deployment issues. Diskless boot, game caching, venue networks, esports-grade hardware — on whichever platform stack fits the venue.
04 · Support & Administration
IT Support & Systems
Tier 1–2 support with 5,000+ systems repaired. OS deployment, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace administration, endpoint protection, remote administration, and ITIL-aligned incident & problem management.
05 · Security Systems
CCTV & Surveillance
100+ installations across the Hikvision and Dahua ecosystems and beyond — IP camera system design, NVR configuration, remote viewing, and clean integration with client networks, whatever the site already runs.
06 · Hardware Engineering
PC & Server Builds
Custom high-performance builds backed by 5,000+ repairs and QA passes — thermal design, component selection, and Windows and Linux server deployment.
07 · Software
Web Development
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Three.js/WebGL, Framer Motion, Node, and PHP. This portfolio is the flagship demonstration — alongside a POS web application delivered for a restaurant client.
08 · Mobile
Android Development
An e-commerce Android application and utility apps — including an IoT gas-detection companion — built on Java and Kotlin fundamentals.
MSc Research
Media Streaming Over QUIC
My MSc research evaluates how the QUIC transport protocol affects multimedia streaming Quality of Experience compared to traditional TCP-based systems — comparing QUIC/HTTP-3 against TCP/HTTP-2 under controlled packet loss, latency variation, and bandwidth instability, and measuring bitrate stability, rebuffering, startup delay, and playback continuity on a purpose-built experimental platform.
Principles
How I Work
01
Uptime is the product
Maximum uptime and business continuity drive every design decision — networks exist to keep the business running, not the other way around.
02
Root cause, not symptoms
Recurring outages end when the underlying fault is found and engineered out. Diagnosis goes as deep as the problem does.
03
Independent delivery
Large-scale deployments led end-to-end — design, implementation, and handover — like a 44-workstation gaming center delivered in one week with zero post-deployment issues.
04
Security by default
Firewalls, segmentation, and hardened access are part of the initial design, never an afterthought bolted on later.
