Migrations, SIEM deployments and automation at enterprise scale
Delivery work for banking, insurance, telecommunications, energy and government clients across West and Southern Africa - from landing zone assessments through to production security operations.
Discuss a ProjectEach engagement below covers architecture, delivery and the measurable outcome for the client.
Led end-to-end Sentinel deployments for 20+ enterprise clients in financial services, telecoms and energy: data connector integration, custom analytics rules, automation playbooks, syslog forwarding and Cisco Firepower log ingestion.
Ran POC-to-production rollouts with SOC data walkthroughs, Defender for Cloud onboarding and hands-on training for client security teams - improving threat detection visibility and reducing MTTR.
Planned and delivered 50+ migration projects for banking, insurance, energy, government and financial services clients, covering architecture design, migration assessments, server deployment, subscription-to-subscription moves, quota management and BCDR.
Post-migration cost optimisation reduced client infrastructure costs by up to 30% while improving system availability.
Architected and deployed Dev, UAT and Production environments on Azure for a major telecommunications provider, supporting consumer-facing applications with end-to-end provisioning, environment testing and cost analysis across all subscriptions.
Ongoing vulnerability remediation, Defender for Cloud reporting and NSG hardening produced a measurable uplift in the client's Azure Secure Score.
Designed and implemented an automated IP blocking pipeline integrating FortiGate firewalls with Microsoft Sentinel through Logic Apps and the FortiGate REST API.
Enabled real-time automated threat response and eliminated manual intervention for blocking malicious IP addresses.
Conducted landing zone assessments for enterprise banking clients, evaluating subscription architecture, ExpressRoute connectivity, network topology and governance readiness against Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework.
Accelerated cloud-readiness timelines and secured project approvals.
Designed SAP on Azure architectures including Content Server High Availability on Linux, and contributed to a successful Microsoft Advanced Specialisation audit for SAP on Azure.
Strengthened the organisation's partner credentials and unlocked new revenue opportunities.
Architected and deployed Azure Communication Services for a telecoms client with both SMTP and API-based email delivery, technical documentation and sending-limit escalation resolution.
Let the client consolidate messaging infrastructure and cut third-party email service costs.
Built a Logic Apps alerting pipeline that queries AAD Provisioning Logs in a Sentinel Log Analytics Workspace, formatting and emailing provisioning failure alerts to HR and IT stakeholders.
Cut provisioning issue resolution time from days to hours.
Facilitated Microsoft Security Copilot workshops and demos for 8+ banking, insurance and telecoms clients across West and Southern Africa.
Drove early adoption of AI-powered security operations and generated new consulting pipeline.
Delivered recurring Azure consumption reports and cost optimisation assessments across multiple enterprise clients, identifying Reserved Instance savings, rightsizing opportunities and decommissioning actions.
Reduced monthly Azure spend by up to 25% across client portfolios.
Designed curricula and delivered instructor-led AZ-305, AZ-104, AZ-500 and AZ-900 courses for enterprise clients in banking, energy and financial services, including hands-on labs.
Upskilled 70+ IT professionals and strengthened client cloud capability.
Contributed issues and pull requests to IVY, a framework-agnostic machine learning library that abstracts TensorFlow, PyTorch and other backends behind consistent call signatures.
Working repositories where hands-on builds, labs and experiments live.
