What I'm looking for

I seek an IT infrastructure / operations role where I can manage enterprise systems, lead operations, and grow in cloud and security within a collaborative team.

I am an IT Operations engineer with over 15 years managing enterprise Windows-based systems, virtualization, storage, networking and cloud services. I have extensive Microsoft experience (AD, Exchange, Hyper-V, System Center), plus VMware, SAN/NAS, Cisco networking and multi-vendor security/firewall platforms.

I have planned and executed major infrastructure projects (campus migrations, AD/Exchange upgrades, data center operations) and led operations at banks, manufacturing and international organizations. I pursue continuous certification and hands-on improvement in cloud, virtualization, networking and security.
