At Adept AI Africa, I guide businesses through AI adoption and cybersecurity improvements. I work with leadership to identify AI opportunities, assess risks, and deliver practical training that helps teams use new technologies.

At Synthesis Software Technologies, I collaborated with technical teams on AWS migrations using the Cloud Adoption and Well-Architected frameworks. I also helped grow the AWS partner standing and supported adoption of an internal training tool.

At Media Host (Pty) Ltd, I managed on-premises infrastructure and data centre migrations, and helped move infrastructure to AWS. I also led the design and deployment of a radio streaming network in South Africa with international vendors.
