Abraham Harding
@abrahamharding
Data center technician and AWS-trained infrastructure specialist bringing automation-first, audit-ready operations to cloud and networks.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data center technician and infrastructure specialist with production-floor experience deploying and maintaining Dell PowerEdge servers and enterprise network hardware in live co-location environments. I combine operational discipline with an automation-first mindset, with a focus on audit-compliant documentation, change management, and systematic troubleshooting.
In live environments, I’ve handled rack installation, structured cabling, BIOS configuration, and initial OS provisioning, then continued through hardware and connectivity troubleshooting using documented runbooks to reduce mean time to resolution. I also manage asset inventory, hardware lifecycle tracking, and physical security compliance—so operations stay traceable, consistent, and ready for scrutiny.
Beyond data center work, I supported high-reliability operations while monitoring performance metrics and escalating anomalies to maintain 99%+ uptime. I also built automation that reduced a recurring data pipeline’s processing time by over 70%, and I communicate operational outcomes clearly to leadership—turning technical signals into actionable reliability improvements.
My cloud and DevOps foundation is reinforced by AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and hands-on AWS work across EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and ECS Fargate, paired with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform. Through projects like an ECS Fargate deployment pipeline (with Docker, GitHub Actions, and Trivy scanning), I deliver reproducible, secure infrastructure workflows that mirror how I approach real production change.
