What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows for continuous learning in cloud technologies.

I am an IT Administrator with over 6 years of experience in optimizing complex hybrid, cloud, and on-premises infrastructures for SaaS environments. My expertise lies in ensuring high availability, scalability, and robust security in critical production environments, which has significantly reduced incidents and maximized system uptime.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented automation solutions using Python, PowerShell, and Bash, alongside a strong foundation in IT security best practices. Notably, I contributed to USD $1M in annual cost savings by decommissioning orphaned resources and achieved a PCI DSS audit with zero critical findings through rigorous CIS hardening controls.

As a Senior Systems Administrator, I have led initiatives that reduced server deployment time by 75% and improved compliance rates for patching processes. My commitment to continuous improvement and operational efficiency drives me to leverage advanced technologies and methodologies, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
