What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply monitoring, automation, and security skills to improve reliability in security-focused, collaborative international teams.

I am a bilingual Systems Engineer with over nine years of experience designing and operating IT infrastructure monitoring, process automation, and security solutions in high-pressure banking and telecommunications environments.

Throughout my career I have implemented scalable monitoring and automation that reduced manual work and incident response times—achieving automation of 90% of first-level tasks and up to 80% faster DHCP/validation responses.

I specialize in tools such as Zabbix, Grafana, Wazuh, Bash scripting and have delivered projects including Zabbix high-availability deployments, real-time transactional Grafana dashboards, Telegram-integrated incident workflows, and automated discovery rules for large banking clients.

I am driven by continuous learning, hold Zabbix Certified User 6.0, am pursuing cybersecurity credentials, and I am eager to apply my monitoring, automation and security expertise to strengthen reliability and observability in international, security-focused IT teams.
