United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an IT Infrastructure and Systems Administrator with over six years supporting high-availability healthcare, municipal, and public-safety environments. I specialize in Windows Server and Active Directory administration, VMware vSphere, network design, proactive monitoring, and incident response.
In my recent roles I managed multi-site server and AD infrastructure, administered physical servers and storage arrays, and coordinated resolution of critical incidents to support emergency services and 24/7 clinical operations. I have a track record of developing automation (PowerShell) to streamline system health reporting and access-management workflows.
I value uptime, robust security, and clear operational documentation, and I bring hands-on experience with patching, hardware maintenance, VLAN/VPN design, monitoring tools, and cross-departmental collaboration to keep mission-critical systems resilient.
