South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced IT professional with a strong background in system administration and DevOps. My expertise includes providing remote Tier 2/3 support and managing cloud environments, particularly with Google Cloud and Azure. I hold a Google Cloud G Suite certification and have a proven track record of optimizing IT operations through effective management of MDM solutions and Active Directory audits.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, including O365 tenant-to-tenant migrations and the implementation of JAMF policies. My role as a System Administrator at CBS involved managing licensing for over 10,000 users and contributing to significant migration projects. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my technical skills to enhance system performance and user support.
