Service Desk Engineer at European Southern Observatory (ESO), managing user and device lifecycles across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What I'm looking for
At European Southern Observatory (ESO), I provide multi-tier support across Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu/Linux, resolving service desk requests and escalating complex cases when needed. I manage user and device lifecycles, including Active Directory accounts, endpoint administration with Intune and JAMF, and access provisioning.
Previously, I supported Windows Server and Active Directory at MedienDeZign GmbH and provided application support at Lufthansa Industry Solutions, where I assisted with updates, release coordination, incident response, and certificate renewals. I hold ITIL v4 Foundation and CompTIA A+ certifications, and I’m looking for a long-term role where I can grow technically and contribute to a mission-driven team.
