ICT Infrastructure & Systems Professional

Curious by nature.
Reliable by design.

I like solving the technology problems that slow teams down. My work spans networks, infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and day-to-day support across multiple sites. I enjoy getting into the details, finding a practical fix, and leaving things easier for people to use.

01 / The results

Some results
I’m proud of.

A quick look at the impact: lower internet costs, stronger staff ICT capability, multi-site support, and scaling an IT operation from its first rollout.

Connectivity savings & staff capability

Internet cost reduction and staff-training outcomes

Monthly internet costs reduced by43%
Staff ICT competency after training+30%

Implementation details for both outcomes are in Selected Projects below.

Problems solved.
Things made better.

Two short case studies outline the challenge, my approach, technology, and result. Other project highlights add context; I’ve left sensitive organization and campaign names out.

CASE STUDY 01 / NETWORK MODERNIZATION

Fibre connectivity across eight residential houses

8 houses modernizedCompleted by July 2026Wider network: 3 sites · 13 managed devices
Challenge
The existing UniFi wireless mesh did not provide stable connectivity across the eight houses.
What I did
Initiated and oversaw a redesign that brought fibre to each house and added an individual access point in every home.
Technology
Fibre links, house-level wireless access points, a firewall/router, and a PoE access switch.
Result
Replaced the unstable mesh-based setup with fibre to each house and a centrally managed access-point design.

CASE STUDY 02 / ASSET MANAGEMENT

From spreadsheet tracking to a Snipe-IT asset portal

Server-hosted asset registryAssignments · location · lifecycle
Challenge
Excel-based registration and monitoring made it harder to keep asset details, assignments, and lifecycle activity in one place.
What I did
Designed and implemented an online, server-hosted asset-management portal to replace the spreadsheet-based process.
Technology
Snipe-IT, an open-source asset-management platform, deployed as a server-hosted web portal.
Result
Centralized asset records made assignments, returns, and redeployments easier to track, with inventory reporting to support review and reconciliation.

PROJECT 03 / CONNECTIVITY COSTS

Resilient connectivity, lower cost

Reduced recurring monthly internet costs by 43% and improved cost-effectiveness by using Flow Business as the primary connection, retaining Starlink for failover, and reducing Starlink’s allocated bandwidth. This kept a backup internet path available while lowering monthly spend.

Network resilience
PROJECT 04 / ICT GOVERNANCE

Stronger ICT operations

Created an incident management framework and supporting ICT standards. Standardized network diagrams, asset and software inventories, user access records, and infrastructure documentation to improve operational visibility. I also assessed staff ICT competencies and provided one-on-one basic ICT training to build their knowledge and skills, increasing staff ICT competency by 30%.

PROJECT 05 / CONTACT-CENTRE STARTUP

Building a contact-centre IT foundation in Jamaica

I joined at inception, helping establish the IT foundation for an international contact-centre campaign with 500 PCs. I called it my “baby project” because I was there from the beginning. I helped build the infrastructure, including the server room, switches, structured cabling, and cable management, while coordinating local vendors and Jamaican suppliers with international partners. By the time I moved on from the organization in 2024, the operation had nearly 1,200 PCs and a workforce of about 1,300, including full-time campaign agents and other departmental staff.

03 / What I bring

From server room
to staff room.

I enjoy the mix: figuring out network and infrastructure problems, making systems more reliable, and helping people get more from their technology. I also onboard vendors, align requirements, and collaborate on negotiations to secure competitive pricing and dependable service quality.

04 / Career path

A career built
one problem at a time.

I started in hands-on support, grew into infrastructure leadership, and still enjoy getting close to the problem when it calls for it.

Where the curiosity started

I’ve always been interested in technology and how things work. As a child, I’d pull things apart to figure them out, sometimes getting into trouble with my parents for it. They weren’t always thrilled, but that curiosity stuck around and still guides how I approach ICT.

Moving from Ibex Global to ItelCX was a deliberate choice to build deeper hands-on experience. I took a step back to make a leap forward. My work ethic and dedication helped me earn a promotion from Technical Analyst, Tier II, to IT Manager.

06 / Off the clock

Family, speedway, and my Prelude.

Outside work, I recharge through family time, local motorsport, and time around cars.

Family keeps me grounded

I’m a single dad to a teenage daughter, and family time is an important part of life outside work.

Motorsport is my reset

I attend local speedway events and enjoy private racing on cordoned-off roadways, away from public roads.

My Honda Prelude

My personal car has a Naturally Aspirated engine.
