United Kingdom

Message

At VMware Professional Services, I design and deploy NSX-T private-cloud and micro-segmentation solutions across UK client infrastructures, including secure, DV-cleared environments. I also architect and deploy VMware Avi solutions that replace legacy hardware load balancers with an application-centric platform.

Previously, at VMware Customer Success, I supported NSX and software-defined data-centre adoption across EMEA and LATAM through architecture workshops, design reviews, PoC labs and partner enablement. My earlier work includes data-centre and network security architecture at Wipro, Fujitsu and other organisations; I hold CCIE Lifetime Emeritus status and an MBA.
