What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on systems/infrastructure role where I can manage and secure servers, automate operations, mentor teams, and grow in cloud and SRE responsibilities.

I am a detail-oriented Systems Administrator with hands-on experience managing Windows and Linux servers, cloud platforms, and enterprise monitoring tools. Over three years I have administered AD, Group Policy, IIS, VPNs, firewalls, and implemented backup and recovery solutions with Veeam and Veritas.

I have progressed through roles from ICT intern and helpdesk lead to Assistant Systems Administrator and Hardware Support Specialist, deploying and maintaining infrastructure on AWS and Azure while using SolarWinds and Zabbix for monitoring. I automate tasks with shell scripting, perform routine maintenance, and reconcile hardware inventory with accounting records.

I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and team leadership skills, a track record of improving system reliability and security, and a commitment to continual learning and process improvement.
