What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am an organized and dependable Citrix Engineer with extensive experience in managing virtual application environments and delivering high-performance solutions. My expertise lies in supporting large corporations with Microsoft Azure, Citrix NetScaler, and XenApp solutions. I have a proven track record of successfully managing offshore teams and ensuring operational availability of critical systems.

Throughout my career, I have designed and deployed Citrix infrastructures that support thousands of concurrent users, migrated on-premises virtual machines to AWS, and implemented robust security measures to protect sensitive data. My technical skills include configuring and maintaining Citrix Cloud and AWS environments, as well as utilizing various scripting languages to enhance system functionality.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive efficiency and innovation within IT environments. I thrive in dynamic settings where I can take on added responsibilities to meet team goals and contribute to the overall success of the organization.
