At Optus, I design and deploy secure network connectivity and manage Cisco, Check Point, Juniper SRX, and Palo Alto security solutions for managed client networks. I bring 20 years of network security experience across information, perimeter, network, endpoint, and content security.

I've delivered data centre, DMZ, firewall migration, VPN, and managed security operations projects for clients including ITV News, Sadara Chemicals, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, and EMI Music across Australia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Germany, and India. I also support incident, change, and problem management, identify vulnerabilities, document solutions, and help teams maintain critical security services with minimal downtime.
