Systems architect at Bell Canada who implemented HGS and Shielded VMs for secure enterprise virtualization.

At Bell Canada, I supported enterprise virtualization across Hyper-V and VMware in production, staging, and disaster recovery environments. I implemented Host Guardian Service and Shielded VMs, applying security controls including TPM, certificates and code integrity.

I built and maintained Windows Server environments and delivered Hyper-V host build processes from bare metal through validation and production onboarding. I also integrated Storage Spaces Direct, iSCSI, vSAN, and NFS storage, and supported backup and recovery with DPM and Dell NetWorker.

At Indigenous Services Canada, I supported VMware infrastructure hosting RHEL workloads and carried out controlled patch cycles for RHEL 7, 8, and 9. Earlier, at Transport Canada, I used PowerShell, PowerCLI, and Ansible to standardize administration, patching, and validation workflows.
