What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead infrastructure modernization and high-availability database/analytics delivery, working with teams that value Agile execution, security, and measurable uptime improvements—ideally with room to grow toward IT leadership.

I'm an IT Infrastructure Engineer based in Kazakhstan with 5+ years of hands-on experience managing enterprise IT environments. I specialize in Windows Server & Active Directory (GPO, DHCP, DNS), MS SQL Server Always On high-availability clusters, Power BI analytics (DAX, Power Query), Cisco/Ruijie networking, and endpoint management via SCCM. I led a $1M+ infrastructure modernization project for a national manufacturing company, reducing system downtime by 60% and optimizing query performance by 35%. I managed a team of 5 engineers and have experience with Docker, Linux, IIS/SSL/PKI, and secure service deployment. I'm actively seeking remote roles where I can bring enterprise-level infrastructure expertise to distributed teams.
