Experienced IT Executive with a strong background in system administration.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced IT Executive with over six years of expertise in managing IT change and implementing effective solutions. My journey in the IT field has equipped me with a robust skill set in Linux and Windows system administration, networking, and security management. I pride myself on being a self-starter who thrives in dynamic environments, requiring minimal direction to achieve organizational goals.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed Linux-based servers, configured network systems, and ensured data security through effective firewall management and user permissions. My proficiency in system monitoring and performance tuning, particularly using tools like Nagios, has allowed me to optimize system health and reliability. I am also well-versed in backup and disaster recovery processes, ensuring critical data is always protected.
In addition to my technical skills, I hold a BEng (Hons) in Computer Networking and Cloud Security from London Metropolitan University, which has further solidified my knowledge and capabilities in the IT domain. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive business success and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
