What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud and email security operations, improve reliability through automation and best practices, mentor engineers, and drive high CSAT in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am an Azure-MS365 Cloud Support Engineer and email security specialist with over eight years of experience in IT support, system administration, and email security and deliverability. I excel at restoring ITIL systems, crack SOPs ITSM, implementing scalable Azure infrastructure, and resolving complex mail flow and authentication issues (DMARC, DKIM, SPF, BIMI).

As a two-time employee of the year, Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude technical team lead and senior support engineer, I’ve driven zero-downtime deployments, coached junior engineers, led cross-functional escalations, and improved customer satisfaction and delivery metrics. I combine operational rigor with a creative approach to transform chaotic environments into reliable, high-performing services.
