@jamiefairley
I'm an experienced IT leader specializing in infrastructure, networks, and media-focused systems administration.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned IT professional with extensive experience managing infrastructure, systems administration, network engineering, and end-user support across hybrid macOS/Windows environments.
At Arts & Letters Creative Co. I led IT operations for 100+ staff, designed and administered multi-office networks, implemented MDM and endpoint protection, and built scalable virtualization and containerization solutions to support post-production workflows.
I drive automation and operational efficiency—implementing automated onboarding/offboarding, optimizing cloud render farm utilization, deploying DAM systems, and administering Monday.com and Google Workspace with SSO and MFA. I also pioneered practical AI integrations that accelerated creative output and contributed to client wins.
I have an engineering background and hold certifications in Apple hardware, Jamf, and Monday.com administration. I seek to deliver secure, high-performance IT platforms while mentoring teams and continuously improving processes with automation and emerging technologies.
