What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role where I can apply my IT support expertise, solve technical challenges, and contribute to secure, efficient IT environments. I value opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, and innovation in driving impactful solutions for business success.

I am a proactive and results-driven IT professional with over 9 years of hands-on experience in IT infrastructure management, cloud solutions, and technical support. My expertise spans Office 365 migrations, server administration, virtualization, and network optimization.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to improve system performance, reduce downtime, and deploy secure, scalable IT solutions aligned with business objectives. I've led key IT projects such as Office 365 deployments for over 150 users and optimized cloud infrastructures using Microsoft Azure and Hyper-V.

Security and compliance are at the forefront of my work, with experience managing firewalls (Fortinet, Sophos, Mikrotik) and ensuring adherence to GDPR and IT governance standards. My problem-solving abilities and dedication to user satisfaction have consistently driven positive outcomes, such as a 25% reduction in network downtime and a 40% decrease in security incidents.

Beyond technical skills, I bring strong collaboration, adaptability, and communication abilities, ensuring seamless teamwork across departments. With certifications in AWS, Microsoft Azure, Cybersecurity, and GDPR, I remain committed to ongoing learning and providing innovative solutions to complex IT challenges.

I'm passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to drive operational efficiency, foster secure IT environments, and contribute to business success.
