❗ It always starts the same...

You were promised a cloud solution — but what you got was a cloud mystery.

You thought your firewall would secure your network — but now no one can even explain what’s being blocked.

You paid for Microsoft Defender, Intune, Sentinel, or AVD — and all you got was a dashboard full of red warnings... and a team too afraid to touch anything.

Your remote users complain of slowness, your backups might not even be restorable, and your Azure costs keep climbing — with no clear reason why.

Your business runs on technology — but lately, it feels like your technology is running you.

That’s where I come in.

✅ I'm Kudakwashe — but you can call me Jack.

I’m not just here to tick boxes or toss buzzwords at you. I’m here to build you secure, scalable, crystal-clear IT infrastructure — and restore your confidence in every platform you rely on.

✦ I don’t promise magic
✦ I bring mastery
✦ I don’t disappear after setup
✦ I train, explain, and make it stick

👤 What others say:

Kudakwashe Jack Mujiri is a powerhouse Systems Administrator and Cloud Security Architect on a mission. With a toolbox packed full of Fortinet firewalls, Azure wizardry, VMware mastery, and Microsoft 365 precision, he’s building secure, scalable infrastructures for modern businesses across continents.

Whether he's teaching a hands-on bootcamp, configuring VPNs on the fly, or deploying enterprise firewalls in Azure, Jack blends deep technical expertise with a sharp eye for client needs. From cracking backup strategies to tightening endpoint security, he’s not just solving problems — he’s designing the blueprint for secure digital transformation.

And here’s the best part: Jack reliably relieves headaches instead of causing them.
Think of him as your network and cloud solutions antidote. You could hire him, sit back, relax, and let an expert implement your solution exactly as needed.

🎯 Here’s what that looks like:

🛡 "We bought the firewall… but we're still exposed."
Your FortiGate isn’t just a box — it’s your first line of defense. I turn it into what it should be:
✦ Fortinet Firewall Architecture | HA Clusters | IPS/IDS
✦ FortiAnalyzer | FortiPAM | FortiEDR
✦ VPNs (SSL/IPSec) | SD-WAN | Real Policy Design

💻 "AVD was set up, but no one actually uses it — or understands it."
Let’s rebuild your Azure Virtual Desktop to serve your team — not slow them down.
✦ Golden Image Creation | FSLogix | Entra ID Auth
✦ Secure Remote Desktop Access
✦ Full Tiers: Basic (0–15) | Standard (16–100) | Premium (100+)

☁️ "Azure is draining our budget — and no one knows why."
You’re not alone. I bring structure, visibility, and efficiency to cloud environments gone rogue.
✦ vNet Design | NSGs | Cost Control
✦ Sentinel | Defender | Conditional Access
✦ Backup Strategy | Entra Connect | Identity Governance

🔐 "We paid for Microsoft Defender… but we’re still vulnerable."
Defender isn't protection until it’s configured properly. I make it defend.
✦ Defender for Cloud Apps | Endpoints | Identity
✦ Intune Setup | Policy Enforcement | Device Compliance
✦ DLP | MAM | MDM for iOS & Android

🧠 "The last guy set it up, but never explained a thing."
Which brings us to this...

🎓 BONUS: I TEACH TOO.
I don’t just configure and disappear — I educate.
Clients, junior engineers, and even total beginners come out of my bootcamps and tutoring sessions not just with working infrastructure, but with confidence in how to use it.

✦ That’s why the setups I deliver don’t break
✦ Because the people who use them actually understand them

📌 Skillset backed by 1,100+ clients & 5+ years of trust:

✦ Microsoft 365 | Azure | Entra | Intune | Sentinel
✦ Fortinet: FortiGate, FortiEDR, FortiAnalyzer, VPNs
✦ AVD, W365, Exchange Migrations, Defender, Conditional Access
✦ VMware vSphere 8 | vSAN | Azure VMware Solution
✦ Active Directory | Windows Server | RDS, DNS, DHCP
✦ Veeam Backup & Replication | DR Planning

📣 What clients say:

“Kudakwashe not only delivered the project on time but also provided valuable insights and recommendations that significantly improved our network performance and security…”
— Yasser

👀 Why this profile feels different

Because it is.
This isn’t a list of tech.
It’s a mirror of your real problems — and a roadmap to solving them.

If your infrastructure feels like a collection of disconnected parts...
If your tech team avoids the dashboards they should be mastering...
If your security feels like hope instead of certainty...

Let’s fix that.
Let’s build real-world infrastructure that’s secure, efficient, and beautifully explained.

You've already invested in the tools.
Now, stop losing money on Cheap Solutions.
And invest in someone who knows how to make them work.

    Experienced Help Desk Technician Needed for Ongoing IT Support It was a real pleasure working with Jack. He brought strong technical expertise, professionalism, and dedication to every project. He played a key role in helping us implement and document multiple systems, and his problem-solving skills made a real difference for our clients. I truly appreciate the time and effort he put into MSA and wish him continued success with his new ventures.

    Jack was a great addition to the team. Reliable, knowledgeable, and proactive. The only reason for ending the contract is his decision to move on to other commitments. I would absolutely recommend him for any future opportunities.
