What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead NOC/network operations, improve incident response, mentor teams, and work with cloud and security technologies in a collaborative environment.

I am a bilingual IT professional with 25+ years of experience in network operations, NOC engineering, and cybersecurity, focused on delivering reliable enterprise infrastructure and rapid incident response.

I have led escalation efforts, trained and coached NOC teams, and developed onboarding templates and runbooks that improved incident response times by 20% while helping maintain 99.9%+ uptime.

My technical background spans network routing and switching, firewall management, virtualization, monitoring tools, and cloud administration, and I have practical experience with Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Mikrotik, VMware, Hyper-V, SolarWinds, Splunk, and LogicMonitor.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to meet SLAs, coordinate outage bridges, and implement disaster recovery and monitoring solutions, and I bring a hands-on approach to mentoring, documentation, and operational improvements.
