What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior IT role where I can secure infrastructure, lead service desk operations, mentor teams, and deliver scalable, resilient IT solutions.

I am an IT administrator with over 7 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, systems administration, network administration, ICT infrastructure, and service desk support. I have successfully managed global service desk operations, administered enterprise systems, and led IT support teams to meet SLA targets.

Throughout my career I have implemented disaster recovery and data backup strategies, deployed security controls including firewalls, antivirus and multi-factor authentication, and supported virtualization and server environments. I have coordinated vendor relationships, managed IT assets and budgets, and trained staff across departments.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Information Technology and multiple cybersecurity and IT certifications. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and committed to building resilient IT operations that align with business goals.
