What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role in hybrid-cloud infrastructure or platform engineering where I can design and automate resilient systems, mentor teams, and drive secure, scalable cloud operations in an enterprise or government environment.

I am a senior infrastructure engineer with deep expertise in hybrid cloud operations, VMware Cloud Suite, Nutanix, and automation tools such as vRealize Automation and vRealize Orchestrator.

I have led deployments and operations for government and enterprise private cloud services, implemented DR drills, performed VM migrations, and managed complex multi-platform troubleshooting and capacity planning.

I hold multiple certifications across VMware (VCP, Tanzu, NSX), AWS, Azure, Kubernetes (CKA), HashiCorp Terraform, Nutanix, Red Hat, and ITIL, and I routinely integrate ServiceNow for catalog automation and platform administration.

I mentor junior engineers, produce runbooks and SOPs, and deliver architecture and operational handovers for production-ready environments focusing on high availability, security, and automation.
