Data center and systems engineer skilled in Linux, virtualization, automation, and project delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a data center and systems engineer with hands-on experience in deploying, migrating, and decommissioning physical servers while maintaining service-level targets. I have supported on-premises and remote users, managed CCTV and access control systems, and executed OS patching and upgrades to improve stability and security.
I automate repetitive tasks using Ansible, Bash and Python to increase operational efficiency and reduce manual effort. I have administered RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu and Windows environments and worked with virtualization platforms including KVM, VMware and Hyper-V.
In project and vendor-facing roles, I have coordinated stakeholders, managed documentation and timelines, and supported installation and commissioning of security and unified communications projects. My background includes continuous improvement and disaster recovery drills to strengthen operations and safety.
I hold certifications and training in cloud and cybersecurity fundamentals and am motivated to grow technically and contribute reliably to operations-focused teams that value safety, process improvement and automation.
