I’ve mastered production operations for 6 years with 4 promotions, then discovered my real passion: building and automating infrastructure. I learned everything by doing it, and I bring that same hands-on mindset to Linux systems administration and repeatable automation.

In my Enterprise Ansible Sandbox, I design and administer a 5-node Linux environment across isolated dev/test/prod network segments and manage every layer end-to-end. I automate server provisioning and service deployment using modular, version-controlled Ansible roles, and I use Molecule testing to catch regressions before changes reach production. I also secure secrets with Ansible Vault, enforce SELinux across RHEL-based nodes with zero policy exceptions, and validate every infrastructure change with CI (ansible-lint on each push).

On the operations side, I’ve succeeded in high-pressure troubleshooting and clear customer communication—whether diagnosing issues fast during live events or redesigning QC processes to cut errors by over 60%. I’m currently learning AWS infrastructure to expand how I deliver automated, secure environments.
