Daniel Chukwunyelugo
@danielchukwunyelugo
IT Engineer specializing in network, systems infrastructure, and cybersecurity with 3+ years of hands-on experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven IT Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience deploying, configuring, and supporting enterprise-grade IT infrastructure across network, systems, and security domains. I translate complex technical requirements into reliable solutions for fast-paced, multi-user environments.
I’ve delivered end-to-end IT support for 50+ endpoints, reducing average incident resolution time by ~30% through structured troubleshooting workflows. I also maintain 15+ technical documentation assets (system records, configuration guides, and SOPs) that improve onboarding efficiency, while supporting deployments that achieve 99%+ system availability.
My networking and security foundation stands out: I was recognized as 1st in Nigeria and 1st in West Africa in the Cisco NetRiders Competition. In my home lab, I architected a virtualized enterprise-style environment using Proxmox and VirtualBox, deployed Windows Server and Ubuntu Server services (AD, DNS, DHCP, and file sharing), and implemented pfSense firewall rules, VLAN-based segmentation, and site-to-site VPN.
I’m equally hands-on with hardening and risk work—running vulnerability assessments using Kali Linux tools, documenting 10+ risk findings per cycle, and implementing targeted remediation. I’m available immediately for onsite roles, and I’m comfortable with shifts while supporting operational IT environments.
