22.57°S 17.08°EAbout

From a floppy disk to building the systems of tomorrow.

I’m the founder of CIMS Technology Solutions and a digital transformation lead in Namibia’s public sector. Eighteen years in ICT — moving from technical training and network engineering into billing systems, OSS/BSS security, and, today, digital transformation of national infrastructure. I’m CISSP and ECSA certified, an (ISC)² and EC-Council member, and a part-time lecturer in informatics and computer science. That journey — from an early fascination with computers to building the platforms shaping Namibia’s digital future — is what Ultimate Journey is about.
