About Me

Hi, I’m Vincent

About Me

Welcome to my personal space — where technology meets family, and professional expertise meets personal growth.

The Basics

  • Name: Vincent Janse van Rensburg
  • Age: 45 (turning 46 in 2026)
  • Location: Centurion, South Africa (20+ years)
  • Languages: English & Afrikaans (bilingual)
  • Experience: 25+ years in networking and Wi-Fi technologies

Family First

My life is anchored by my family — the most important people in my world:

My Wife

Married for 20 wonderful years. Through career demands, travel, and raising two kids, we’ve built a life together. That’s what I’m grateful for.

My Daughter

Turning 18. So proud of the young woman she’s becoming — smart, kind, and full of life.

My Son

Turning 12. Watching him grow, learn, and discover who he is — that’s pure joy.

My Professional Journey

For 25+ years, I’ve been immersed in the networking and Wi-Fi industry. From early enterprise deployments to cutting-edge Passpoint and Open Roaming technologies, I’ve witnessed the evolution of wireless technology firsthand.

This journey has taken me from the Western Cape through to Gauteng, and across the Middle East & Africa region for work.

Professional Boundaries

Important: My current employment commitments do not permit consulting, side work, or external professional services. This blog is purely for personal reflection and knowledge sharing.

I’m happy to connect via LinkedIn for professional networking and industry discussions, but I cannot offer consulting services or take on additional professional commitments.

About This Site

The Networked Life is my personal corner of the internet — a place where technology meets family.

Just as networking connects devices seamlessly, I believe life is about connecting what matters: family, friends, and the work we love.

Whether you’re here for technical insights, work-life balance stories, or just want to connect as humans — welcome to the network.

Connect With Me

Thanks for being here. 🖤 — Vincent
