KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Infrastructure and Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience planning, deploying, upgrading, automating, and troubleshooting complex IT environments across on-prem and cloud—primarily within Azure and Windows Server. I administer Windows Server 2012 with Active Directory, Group Policy, and DNS, while also maintaining endpoint security using Symantec Endpoint Protection and monitoring performance/availability with Datadog.
I’m especially focused on reliability and scale: I maintain network infrastructure (DHCP, VLANs, firewall configurations), support cloud networking/compute/storage, and use PowerShell and Python to streamline system administration and deployment workflows. At Aaro Systems AB, I’ve automated internal documentation and operations using Jira-to-Confluence workflows, smart values, webhooks, and custom JSON, and I’ve supported ISO 27001/SOC 1 compliance work covering secure configuration, access control, asset/data protection, and audit-ready documentation.
