Senior infrastructure architect specializing in VMware Cloud Foundation, NSX, and datacenter networking for secure, scalable cloud platforms.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Infrastructure Architect with over 12+ years of experience across networking, storage, compute, and virtualization, focused on VMware Cloud Foundation deployments in datacenters. I specialize in VMware NSX, VMware vSAN, SDDC Manager, vCenter Server, and vSphere Compute to deliver secure, scalable private cloud platforms.
In my current role, I build and maintain VMware Managed Cloud (VMC) infrastructure and keep the SDDC environment current using SDDC Manager for sequential patching of vCenter, NSX, and ESXi. I troubleshoot North-South and East-West traffic issues with NSX Traceflow, configure NSX Manager/Controller clusters, and scale T1/T0 gateways and edge clusters for multi-tier routing.
I also own the security and operational integrity of the platform by implementing NSX Firewall (DFW) rules, configuring transport zones, and resolving latency and resource contention issues in collaboration with application and OS teams. On the storage side, I troubleshoot FC SAN and hyperconverged storage performance in VMware vSAN, manage datastores and Storage DRS, and support VM migrations, backups, and snapshot workflows.
Earlier, I supported global Cisco datacenter solutions at scale through Cisco TAC, working on Cisco ACI and Cisco NX-OS deployments, UCS infrastructure, and troubleshooting complex data center network behaviors. I bring a hands-on problem-solving mindset, strong analytical communication, and automation experience using tools like PowerShell, Splunk, Dynatrace, Commvault, and CyberArk plugins.
