Infrastructure architect specializing in VMware, SDDC, and secure data-center modernization.
What I'm looking for
I am an Infrastructure Architect with over two decades of experience designing and modernizing enterprise VMware environments, SDDC architectures, and NSX/NSX-T deployments across multiple industries. I focus on resilient, scalable virtual infrastructures with strong automation, performance, and security engineering.
At AT&T Singapore I led multi-region VMware transformation programs, authored NSX architecture blueprints and operational runbooks, and built PoC labs integrating NSX, Palo Alto, and cloud security stacks to validate global rollouts. I also directed a global Palo Alto SD-WAN migration and ran cross-functional architecture workshops and vendor evaluations.
Previously I rebuilt APAC VMware infrastructures for Daimler, executed major vCenter and ESXi upgrades using PowerCLI automation at the National University of Singapore, and provided L3 UNIX and virtualization support at Hewlett-Packard. I hold VMware NSX and Data Center Virtualization certifications and multiple security and SD-WAN credentials, and I continue professional development in cybersecurity and AI.
