What I'm looking for
I am a data center operations lead with extensive hands-on experience managing enterprise datacenter platforms, lifecycle planning, and infrastructure design using ITIL practices. I hold a BS in IT-Security and active Secret clearance while delivering operational readiness and RMF-aligned standards.
I have led inbound system staging, installation inspections, power and rack planning, and provided consulting for domestic and international data center build-outs. I routinely review technical specifications and coordinate transitions to full operational capability within project timelines.
My technical strengths include Windows Server and Linux administration, LAN/WAN design, physical network specifications, and use of monitoring and DCIM tools such as PRTG, SolarWinds, What’s Up Gold, and Nlyte Energy Optimizer. I also maintain rigorous documentation and change control to reduce single points of failure.
I am certified in ACAS 4.8 and hold multiple CompTIA and Microsoft certifications, plus BICSI Data Center Design Consultant credentials. I bring a problem-solving mindset, quick learning ability, and experience enforcing security policies and access controls to maintain resilient datacenter operations.
