What I do

Virtualisation

I design, develop, and maintain cutting-edge virtual solutions using VM Ware, Azure, and Proxmox. I've implemented robust solutions for SMEs and government departments, managing virtual servers and desktops, crafting secure SFTP solutions, and deploying monitoring systems. My experience covers various aspects of virtualization at all operational levels.

Penetration Testing

I offer cutting-edge penetration testing services using skills acquired from my time in academia as well as in industry. In my professional work, I have run internal phishing simulations with follow up training for SMEs, and targeted physical access controls with follow-up reports. I'm familiar with industry tools like Kali, Burp Suite, Nmap, NetCat, OWASP ZAP, Wireshark and Microsoft's Attack Simulation.

IT Support

I specialize in IT support for both on premises architecture and cloud environments. I've supported organizations with as little as two people all the way up to government agencies. I've also supported a wide range of technologies, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. I have a deep familiarity with OneDrive, SharePoint, Windows Server, Windows 10/11, VM Ware, and Azure.

Who I am

IT Professional

I'm Ben! I'm 29 and hold a first class bachelors degree in Computer Science.
I currently work as a Virtualisation Engineer and Information Security Analyst .

I've had a lifelong passion for all things IT and have been fortunate enough to turn my passion into my career. I believe my experience as a developer uniquely positions me to be able to support companies in a way that other IT Support Technicians can't, delving deep into Automation, Powershell and Bash scripting in aid of finding solutions, as well as creating deep and readable documentation.
