What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level Systems/DevOps role where I can manage and secure hybrid infrastructures, automate operations, and grow into cloud and SRE responsibilities.

I am a Systems/DevOps engineer with four years' experience focused on Linux and Windows Server administration, virtualization, and secure, scalable infrastructures.

I have managed Active Directory objects, Office365/Entra ID and Exchange Online mailboxes, added and configured 150+ servers on Wallix Bastion, and upgraded Ubuntu and Debian systems while preserving application compatibility.

My background includes large backup infrastructures (700 TB with NetBackup), automation of installation processes for Linux and Windows, decommissioning 1500 Linux servers, and deploying reverse proxies with Nginx for business applications.

I bring practical skills in VMware, HPE iLO, Veeam, PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes and GitLab, and I deliver reliable operations through proactive monitoring, rigorous change management, and clear reporting.
