What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and secure production infrastructure where I can deepen my work in virtualization, cloud, network security, high availability, and DevOps automation.

At UN ESCWA, I migrate and operate production infrastructure spanning virtualization, high availability, security, and observability.

I migrated a 9-node VMware vSphere ESXi cluster to Proxmox VE without disrupting production workloads, covering storage, networking, backups, and snapshots. I also built a 3-node PostgreSQL 17 HA cluster using Patroni, etcd, and mTLS.

I manage Cloudflare security services, SIEM, firewalls, identity systems, endpoint protection, and network infrastructure. My work includes vulnerability assessments, audits, penetration testing, and security playbooks.

I bring hands-on experience with DevOps and CI/CD automation, Ubuntu-based Magento environments, routing and switching, and full-stack development tools. I take infrastructure projects from design through production deployment.
