What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, innovation, and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

With over 10 years of experience in Unix/Linux system administration, I have honed my skills in automation, system security, and disaster recovery. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University, and I have since earned multiple certifications, including Red Hat Certified Engineer and Azure Solutions Architect Expert. My expertise lies in managing both virtual and physical systems, ensuring operational stability through effective incident and change management.

In my current role as a Senior Lead at IBM/Kyndryl, I have successfully automated system administration tasks using Ansible and shell scripting, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
