Systems Administrator transitioning from Windows infrastructure to Linux, with enterprise experience managing Active Directory and Microsoft 365.
What I'm looking for
At DigitalWell, I handled data backup and recovery with Macrium Reflect, Veeam, and MSP360, and managed user accounts and permissions across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
I also worked with Microsoft Azure identity and access control and provided remote IT support using ScreenConnect (ConnectWise Control). My responsibilities included supporting secure VPN access with FortiClient.
At Synelience Portugal, I administered Windows Server 2008–2016 for a healthcare industry client, managed Active Directory with Adaxes, and supported backup operations with Commvault. I also provided Tier 2 support to VIP users and facilities distributed across the world.
My background includes enterprise Windows infrastructure, identity management, and service desk support. I’ve gained Linux experience through personal use, LPIC-101 certification, and structured administration training, and I’m transitioning toward Linux system administration; I don’t yet have professional Linux production experience.
