At Safalgroup (Mabati Rolling Mills Ltd), I administer FortiGate firewalls, Windows Server, VoIP, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 while supporting security reviews and vulnerability remediation. I also provide technical support for users across on-site and remote environments.

I designed a custom ADManager tool using Power BI to automate account reporting and compliance checks, strengthening the audit posture and reducing annual license costs. I also scripted operational tasks with PowerShell and created a Microsoft Loop knowledge base for support procedures.
