It gives me great pleasure to endorse Keith as one of the most skilled System Engineers I know. I was honoured to work with and learn from him under the Liquid Telecom Group. As a team leader in the 1st line support department, there is no escalation he failed to guide or resolve. He was always that NOC/IS engineer who has the customer and the organisation at heart, no matter what the incident. My encounters with him will always be an inspiration to my career!

I had the pleasure of working with Keith before he joined ZOL and after. Keith is a highly professional and highly motivated individual that often goes above and beyond what the duty calls for. In an industry that does not stand still his persistence and continued motivation to self educate will be a huge asset to any company.

Keith’s skill set is diverse with a high level of excellence and is not afraid to learn new technologies and systems as the need arises. Keith was always my go to guy if I needed anything complex solved. Keith is incredibly calm under pressure, we’ve put enough all nighters in when the situation called for it and his calmness has often been one of the defining factors in those events playing out far more smoothly than without his presence.

I’d thoroughly recommend Keith in any new position and wish him the very best of luck in his future career.
