What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive innovation and growth in a dynamic organization.

As a seasoned Infrastructure & Systems Engineer, I leverage my expertise in installation, evaluation, implementation, automation, integration, analysis, and maintenance of high-traffic, complex systems and architectures. With 15 years of experience in vSphere systems and DRaaS, I excel in load balancing, networking, and preventive maintenance.

My technical proficiency spans VMware, Linux/UNIX, SAN/Cloud Storage, iSCSI/NFS, Networking/OSI/Switching, TCP/IP, and more. I possess excellent communication, problem-solving, leadership, and time management skills, with a natural talent for establishing strong credibility and trust among internal and external clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with high-volume clients, implemented proof-of-concept clusters, and designed virtual private clouds with vCloud Director. I am committed to delivering efficient solutions that improve long-term efficiency of networking systems.
