I'm Manny Anguluri — a Senior Network Architect with 18+ years of enterprise delivery across Tier 1 financial institutions including HSBC and JP Morgan Chase. Through Empyrean IT Limited, I help organisations design, secure and modernise the networks their business runs on.
My career has sat at the intersection of three demanding disciplines — network architecture, network engineering, and cybersecurity — across some of the world's most regulated and unforgiving environments.
From the Global NOC at JP Morgan Chase supporting 40,000+ network devices, to delivering HSBC's mission-critical F5 GTM Global Load Balancing programme across three continents, to architecting Equinix co-location data centres in five cities for a cybersecurity startup — I've spent nearly two decades translating complex business demands into infrastructure that simply works.
I'm currently advancing my expertise with an MSc in Advanced Cybersecurity at King's College London, with research focused on AI/ML-based anomaly detection for DNS traffic, LLM security, and the threat landscape emerging around adversarial AI.
I founded Empyrean IT Limited to bring that same depth of senior, hands-on expertise to clients who need an architect who has actually built the things they're trying to build.
End-to-end design of enterprise LAN, WAN, data centre and hybrid-cloud networks. HLD/LLD documentation, BoM, and TDA-level architectural authority — built to evolve with the business.
Security architecture, network segmentation, and zero-trust strategies. Currently researching AI/ML threat detection, LLM security, and adversarial AI as part of an MSc at King's College London.
Specialist delivery in F5 BIG-IP (GTM/LTM), Infoblox DDI migrations, and hybrid-cloud connectivity. Equinix backbone, AWS Direct Connect, GCP, and Azure integrations at carrier-grade resilience.
Delivered HSBC's mission-critical F5 GTM Global Load Balancing programme spanning three continents — serving millions of queries daily, completed on time, within budget, with zero service disruption across a globally distributed banking infrastructure.
Supported JP Morgan Chase's global network of 40,000+ devices as part of the NOC team, across treasury services, stock brokering and data centre operations — providing P1 incident leadership in a zero-tolerance financial environment.
Architected and built Equinix co-location data centres in New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris and Sofia for a cybersecurity startup — full ground-up design including FortiGate security, GCP multi-cloud connectivity, and disaster recovery frameworks.
Led design and migration from legacy Windows 2012/2016 DNS/DHCP (~30,000 records, ~1,000 DHCP scopes) and SolarWinds IPAM onto Infoblox DDI across a large-scale insurance/financial services organisation in Belgium.
Empyrean IT Limited is a UK-registered specialist consultancy focused on senior network architecture, engineering and cybersecurity engagements — where seniority, ownership and clear thinking outperform headcount and slideware.
Currently operating across the UK with delivery experience spanning the United States, Belgium, Germany, France, Bulgaria and beyond, the company is positioned for measured international expansion — bringing the same architectural authority to enterprises wherever they operate.
Whether you're scoping a network refresh, second-guessing your security posture, planning a DDI migration, or simply want a senior voice in the room — I'd be glad to talk.
