ByteRoute was founded by a Cisco-certified engineer who got tired of watching Cape Town homes and small businesses get overcharged for poor tech support. We do things differently — flat rates, honest advice, and work we stand behind.
Mike spent 20+ years designing and securing enterprise networks for large organisations across the globe before founding ByteRoute. He grew frustrated watching residential clients and small business owners pay premium prices to large IT firms — and receive slow, impersonal service in return.
Mike tought at Cape Pinsulate university of Technoly for 5+ years, He Grow tired of watching studing strugle to bridge the gape between lessons and real work experience, he deviced to create a platform that will help.
ByteRoute was built to solve that problem. Every service is priced flat-rate and published openly on this website. Every visit is done personally by Mike. Every job comes with a 7-day callback guarantee — if the same problem comes back, he comes back, at no charge.
On the business side, Mike's experience covers BGP routing, SD-WAN, Cisco ASA and Firepower firewalls, Palo Alto Networks, and POPIA compliance frameworks. ByteRoute's MSSP contracts are built around the same enterprise-grade processes Mike used in corporate environments — scaled and priced for Cape Town SMEs.
Outside of networking, Mike runs hands-on CCNA and CCNP training cohorts in partnership with MICT SETA (accreditation pending), designed specifically for South African students who want to enter the networking industry without paying Cisco-academy prices.
