Technical Knowledge & Work Experience
Sharing what I’ve learned through 25+ years in the networking and Wi-Fi industry, enterprise solutions, and global travels
Connected by tech, connected by family
My Professional Journey
For 25+ years, I’ve dedicated my career to networking and Wi-Fi technologies — from early enterprise deployments to cutting-edge Passpoint, Open Roaming, and Boingo solutions. I’ve had the privilege of working across the Middle East & Africa region, witnessing the evolution of wireless technology and helping organizations deploy scalable, secure networks.
Important: My current employment does not permit consulting or side work. This blog is purely for knowledge sharing and personal reflection, not service delivery. All connections should be professional and respectful of my full-time commitments.
