I’m a fourth-year Computer Engineering student with a strong drive to build things that work reliably and at scale. I’m comfortable working across system layers—from scripts and automation to provisioning infrastructure and supporting end-users—because I enjoy understanding how everything connects. I’m naturally curious and quick to pick up new tools, and I’m motivated by solving problems that have real impact.

As a Junior Systems Administrator (IT Department – Practice Work), I provided Tier-1/Tier-2 support to 50+ end-users, resolving hardware, software, and network issues while acting as the interface between users and the IT team. I administered Google Workspace accounts, implemented backup and disaster recovery procedures, deployed and monitored enterprise antivirus solutions, and monitored TLS/SSL certificate validity to ensure uninterrupted service. I also used Jira for incident tracking and workflow automation—improving response times by 30%—and authored troubleshooting guides, SOPs, rollout plans, and knowledge base articles.

I build and validate systems through projects and training: an end-to-end real-time AWS + Apache Kafka data pipeline using the Finnhub WebSocket API, an Ansible-driven Windows endpoint backup orchestrator with WinRM/HTTPS and encrypted credential handling, and a Python network service discovery and monitoring tool with real-time diagnostics. I’ve also trained in QA (including automated test suites with Selenium WebDriver using the Page Object Model) and cybersecurity (web vulnerabilities, log inspection, alert triage, and Python security automation), so I bring both reliability and security mindset into my work.
