What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can secure and scale cloud infrastructure, lead secure transformations, work with modern identity/security tooling, and grow within collaborative, security-focused teams.

I am an ICT Systems & Network Support Specialist with over 8 years of hands-on experience in systems administration, networking, and IT operations, focused on secure, scalable cloud solutions.

I have deployed and hardened Windows and Linux servers, configured LAN/WAN/VPNs with Cisco devices, and used tools like Wireshark to reduce downtime and improve reliability for 50+ user environments.

Recently I upskilled in cloud security—completing AWS Cloud Practitioner and Azure Cloud Security training—and implemented identity, access, and monitoring controls including Azure AD, RBAC, MFA, Azure Firewall, Microsoft Sentinel, VPCs, and security groups.

I combine technical depth with practical leadership: aligning ICT with business goals, improving incident response, optimizing cloud costs, and driving secure digital transformation for clients and stakeholders.
