What I'm looking for

I seek technical roles managing enterprise infrastructure, cloud migrations, and storage systems where I can solve complex problems, mentor teams, and drive reliable operations.

I am a senior systems and network engineer with decades of experience designing, installing, and supporting large-scale infrastructure in data center, call center, and casino environments.

I've led migrations from VMware vCenter to Microsoft Azure, deployed and maintained NetApp SANs, EMC arrays, A10 load balancers, and multi-host VMware systems, and administered Windows Active Directory and Office 365 for production, QA, and Dev environments.

As a business owner, I also run a custom closet and home organization company where I handle client consultations, 3D design rendering, space planning, and professional installation — demonstrating my combination of technical depth and hands-on client-facing operations.
