Security isn’t just a feature — it’s the backbone of every system I design. I take a proactive approach to protecting data, ensuring resilience, and reducing risks. My focus is on building secure environments that organizations can trust and grow with.

Apple Certified

I’ve worked extensively with Apple platforms and know how to get the best from them in both enterprise and education settings. From integration to management, I make sure Apple technology fits seamlessly into wider systems and supports people to do their best work.
