CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an infrastructure and cloud engineer with 8+ years advising, building, and improving secure systems across Linux, Windows, networking, hybrid cloud, monitoring, and automation. I focus on operations that are both reliable and compliance-aware, translating infrastructure needs into secure, well-documented systems.
At Markham District Energy, I architected and maintained 50+ production Linux/Windows servers, sustaining 99.9% uptime through monitoring, patching, and system hardening. I implemented Zabbix, Nagios, and Azure Monitor to reduce mean-time-to-detection by 40%, automated backups and provisioning with Bash/PowerShell, and improved audit readiness by reducing recovery time objectives by 30% through runbooks, diagrams, and disaster recovery documentation.
