What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote DevOps and Cloud opportunities globally.

At WRC - Government Infrastructure, I administer a hybrid Linux and Windows Server environment supporting internal systems and hosted services. I manage Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, IIS, and FTP, and maintain access controls and system security.

At Ambitious Web Services, I managed Linux hosting infrastructure for 500+ websites, using cPanel/WHM to support provisioning, performance, and security. I also deployed and maintained bare metal servers and handled migrations, backups, and restorations.

Earlier, I supported hosting and IT systems at Meridian Limo LLC and delivered and customized 60+ WordPress websites through Upwork. I’m open to remote DevOps and Cloud opportunities globally.
