What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead infrastructure and cloud initiatives, drive automation and security improvements, mentor teams, and deliver high-availability solutions.

I am a System Engineer with 8+ years designing, deploying, and securing enterprise IT infrastructure across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. I focus on high availability, security compliance, and performance optimization to deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions.

My hands-on expertise spans Windows and Linux administration, virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), networking, disaster recovery, and monitoring (SolarWinds, Zabbix). I automate operations using PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, and Terraform and mentor junior engineers while leading large-scale IT projects.

I am recognized for problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and consistently reducing downtime through improved processes and technology integration, driving business growth and operational efficiency.
