What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue managing reliable virtualized, storage, Linux, and Windows infrastructure while improving performance, uptime, security, and IT operations.

At I-Stay, I administer VMware environments, manage storage clusters, support RHEL Linux systems, and oversee SQL upgrades and IIS configurations.

Previously at Premium Service S.A.L., I designed, installed, and troubleshot Windows Server infrastructure while managing Active Directory, GPO, DHCP, DNS, DFS, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, VMware, SCCM, SCOM, and SCVMM. I also supported approximately 150 users, maintained backups and disaster recovery procedures, and built internal technical documentation and IT policies.

My earlier IT roles included maintaining LAN and WAN infrastructure, monitoring network traffic and security, managing network hardware and software, and resolving user issues.
