What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on virtualization and HCI where I can manage and optimize infrastructure, lead migrations/upgrades, and collaborate with vendor teams to improve uptime and efficiency.

I am a VMware System Administrator with over four years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and maintaining virtual infrastructures using VMware vSphere, ESXi, Nutanix AHV/Prism, and Windows Server platforms. I have led P2V/V2V migrations, implemented HCI clusters, managed upgrades with zero downtime, and driven capacity planning and automation to ensure reliable, high-performance environments.

I excel at troubleshooting complex virtualization and hardware issues, performing patch and firmware management, and collaborating with vendor teams for root-cause analysis and resolution. I deliver pragmatic, security-conscious infrastructure solutions—prioritizing uptime, efficiency, and clear communication across teams.
