What I'm looking for

I seek senior infrastructure roles where I can lead complex network and Microsoft-platform projects, work with cross-border teams, and continue professional development in security and cloud technologies.

I am a Principal Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in network and Microsoft-based infrastructure, VMware virtualization, and security appliances. I install, configure, and troubleshoot enterprise switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers and Windows server platforms, and I lead infrastructure work on international projects.

My background includes hands-on administration of Active Directory, DNS, GPO, Microsoft SQL Server, System Center products (SCCM, SCOM, DPM, SC VMM), VMware vSphere/ESXi and Hyper-V, plus experience with F5 BIG-IP, FortiGate, Cisco ASA/FMC/FirePower, Palo Alto and other security and backup systems.

I value continuous learning and have completed numerous certifications and courses (VMware, F5, CEH, Microsoft tracks, CCNA). I bring international project leadership, travel experience, and a practical, solution-oriented approach to infrastructure delivery.
