Building Networks.
Leading Teams.
Strategic Network Core Systems & Solutions Manager with 8+ years delivering resilient ISP, enterprise, and cloud networks. I lead a 19-member multidisciplinary team across Network Engineering, Cybersecurity, Systems, Development, and Data — driving 99.99% service availability, infrastructure scalability, and secure service delivery.
I blend deep technical expertise with senior leadership, SLA ownership, automation, and vendor management — overseeing core IP, transmission, OSS/BSS, and cloud-integrated platforms. Certified across Juniper, Huawei, Azure, and Google technologies, I focus on building high-performing teams and future-ready networks that power SaaS and SECaaS solutions.
In July 2026 I'm joining Google as a Data Center Technician III at the LPP Hamina Data Center in Finland — bringing African ISP-scale operations experience into hyperscale infrastructure.
