About Me
Built Around Real Systems
I am a Computer Science student at Stellenbosch University (first year completed) with extensive hands-on experience managing IT infrastructure for multiple companies. Since 2022, I've been running client sites as an MSP, handling everything from website maintenance and hosting to cybersecurity, user management, and RMM deployments.
I manage complete IT infrastructure stacks: websites, hosting, cybersecurity, user administration, and monitoring systems.
My focus is practical security operations: firewalls, zero trust implementations, endpoint protection, and infrastructure hardening.
I have real-world experience with enterprise-grade systems while also repurposing consumer hardware for efficient solutions.
Skills & Expertise
Built over years of managing real client infrastructure — not certifications, not course labs. These are the tools and platforms I've deployed, broken, fixed, and optimised in production environments.
