Hi, I’m Dwayne, and I’m thrilled to have you here!
For as long as I can remember, technology has been more than just a career—it’s been a passion. With over a decade of experience in the IT industry, I’ve worn many hats: network engineer, systems administrator, web developer, and even entrepreneur. Each role has shaped my approach to solving technical challenges and helping businesses thrive in a fast-paced, tech-driven world.
This site is my space to share a little about myself, insights, ideas, and the occasional “aha” moment from my career. Whether you’re here to explore practical how-to guides, dive into tech discussions, or simply connect, you’re in the right place.
Currently, I specialize in:
- Network Security: Safeguarding enterprise environments through proactive threat detection and response. I specialize in managing SonicWALL and PFsense firewalls, implementing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions, and conducting in-depth incident response to mitigate risks. My work also includes delivering security training to teams, ensuring they’re equipped to recognize and handle potential threats. From configuring firewalls to optimizing network defenses, I focus on creating robust, adaptive security frameworks that protect businesses from evolving cyber threats.
- IT Operations: Ensuring reliable and efficient IT systems is at the core of what I do. This includes setting up and maintaining site-to-site VPNs, managing firewalls and content filters, handling whitelists, and supporting hybrid cloud connectivity. I monitor networks to prevent downtime, troubleshoot issues from the ground up, and provide clear documentation and training. With leadership experience in IT, I focus on creating systems that work seamlessly for both businesses and their teams.
- System Administration: Overseeing the management and maintenance of both Windows and Linux environments to ensure smooth and reliable operations across diverse systems. This includes deploying and configuring servers, optimizing processes to enhance efficiency, and addressing any technical challenges that arise. My focus is on creating an environment where users have the tools and support they need to perform their tasks effectively, minimizing downtime and ensuring systems run at peak performance.
- Web Development: I create web solutions that improve functionality and enhance user experiences. While still growing in this area, I’m able to build practical and effective websites that meet the needs of each project, ensuring they are both functional and user-friendly.
But it’s not all about technology. My journey, from leading support teams and managing IT operations to running my own business, has taught me the importance of balancing technical precision with a human touch. IT isn’t just about systems; it’s about the people who rely on them.
