What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead secure infrastructure operations, drive automation and modernization, and strengthen disaster recovery and capacity planning—ensuring reliable, compliant, high-availability services that support business growth.

I’m a Senior Infrastructure Engineer and IT Operations Lead with over 8 years of progressive experience designing, implementing, securing, and managing enterprise technology environments. I align infrastructure solutions with business objectives while ensuring security, availability, scalability, and compliance.

I’ve led operational support across Production and Disaster Recovery environments, driving infrastructure governance, documentation standards, change management, and vendor coordination. I also provide strategic advisory on infrastructure investments, capacity planning, cybersecurity, and modernization initiatives.

My work focuses heavily on modernization and reliability—leading virtualization upgrades and migrations that minimized business disruption, and deploying high-availability VMware vCenter across Production and DR. I’ve executed complex infrastructure upgrades across storage, hypervisors, firmware/OS updates, and disaster recovery optimization initiatives.

I strengthen teams and delivery through automation and scripting to reduce operational effort and improve service delivery. From identity and access management to network and endpoint compliance, I bring a practical, security-first approach to keeping enterprise systems resilient, monitored, and ready for change.
