Senior Systems and Cloud Engineer specializing in hybrid infrastructure, security, and automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior systems and cloud engineer with extensive experience designing, administering, and securing hybrid infrastructures across on-premises and cloud environments. I focus on reliable operations, scalability, and repeatable deployments.
My hands-on work includes administering Windows Server platforms, VMware ESXi/vCenter, Nutanix, and AWS EC2, along with enterprise backup solutions such as Veeam and Barracuda. I have led major infrastructure upgrades and implemented centralized management for virtualization platforms.
I routinely manage identity and collaboration platforms including Azure AD, O365, Exchange Online, Intune, and MDM migrations, and I automate bulk operations and migrations via PowerShell and CLI tooling. I also conduct vulnerability scans and coordinate remediations using tools like Nessus and OpenVAS.
As a technical leader, I mentor Level II/help desk staff, serve as an escalation point for complex incidents, and contribute to disaster recovery and business continuity planning to ensure organizational resilience.
