Daniel G Ikonyo Ngingo

I'm a seasoned IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer with 10+ years of experience managing enterprise environments across the UAE, Qatar, and the UK. I've led hybrid cloud deployments across 16+ sites supporting 750+ users and 900+ endpoints — ensuring secure access, platform availability, mobile operations, and cost-efficient scalability.

My expertise spans identity integration (AD + Entra ID), network architecture (Meraki SD-WAN, VLANs, VPNs), endpoint security (SOX-compliant MFA, DLP, Conditional Access), and enterprise platform support (Dynamics AX, Power BI, WMS, Microsoft 365). I've delivered cross-region service continuity, optimized vendor relationships, and architected resilient IT ecosystems.

I'm actively advancing my expertise in cloud-native automation and monitoring to enhance infrastructure agility:

• Provisioned AWS EC2/RDS environments using Terraform IaC
• Implemented IAM access control with FreeIPA LDAP, SSSD, and HBAC policies
• Automated infrastructure deployments with Ansible playbooks
• Integrated Linux-hosted Zabbix with AWS EC2 via secure connectivity for unified monitoring across hybrid workloads

These projects build on my foundation to position me for scalable, automated, and policy-driven infrastructure leadership.
