I am a Senior UNIX administrator specializing in AIX and Linux.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT professional with 10+ years of progressive experience specializing in UNIX systems (AIX, Linux), server management, virtualization, and enterprise infrastructure. I deliver high-energy leadership, rapid adoption of new technologies, and consistent on-time results.
I have led large-scale migrations and platform upgrades—LPAR migrations to IBM P9/P10, GPFS deployments, disk migrations, and Linux upgrades to RHEL 9—while administering middleware such as WebLogic and WebSphere across heterogeneous environments. I have managed virtualization with VMware and Power systems, implemented Docker on RHEL, and overseen SAN, backups and monitoring solutions. I also lead compliance efforts including PCI‑DSS, patch management, SSL/TLS configuration, and audit integrations.
I am focused on applying my UNIX, virtualization, storage and security expertise to drive resilient, compliant enterprise systems while mentoring teams and improving operational efficiency.
