Isaias Cruz

I’m an IT Infrastructure Engineer and current Master’s candidate in Applied Computing, specializing in hybrid environments, Linux administration, and network security. I enjoy translating theoretical concepts into practical infrastructure work—especially through end-to-end deployment and management of my self-hosted homelab.

In my IT Infrastructure Engineer role at BAYOEX, I managed and supported infrastructure in a hybrid work environment, ensuring “absolute security and availability of critical systems.” I monitored performance, diagnosed complex hardware/software/network issues, and carried out proactive maintenance and troubleshooting across Linux and Windows Server to keep business continuity strong.

I also bring hands-on support and development experience from a Web Developer Intern position at BitProject. There, I provided continuous technical support for multiple web properties, developed code and scripts, and collaborated with team members and web designers to align technical delivery with project goals.

Beyond day-to-day operations, I continuously secure and optimize systems—deploying Docker services, configuring routing and access controls, implementing backup strategies, and using Python/Bash automation to streamline maintenance. My Cisco Networking Academy training (CCNA, CyberOps) reflects a security-focused approach that I apply to build scalable, resilient IT systems that drive operational efficiency.
