What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles managing enterprise storage and backup at organizations valuing security, compliance, automation, and cross-team collaboration to improve resilience and scalability.

I am a Senior Storage & Backup Administrator with 12+ years designing, implementing, and managing enterprise SAN/NAS, backup, and disaster recovery solutions across federal, banking, and global organizations. I specialize in NetApp ONTAP, EMC VMAX/Unity/PowerMax, HPE 3PAR, Pure Storage, Rubrik, and hybrid AWS environments.

I have stabilized large-scale storage estates, improved data protection posture, and led migrations, refreshes, and DR exercises while enforcing security, compliance, and ITIL controls in mission-critical TS/SCI environments. I automate deployments and operational tasks using Terraform, Bash, and PowerShell to reduce manual effort and standardize processes.

I collaborate closely with Security, DevOps, Network, virtualization, and application teams to align infrastructure with business continuity and performance objectives, produce clear runbooks and documentation, and support audits and certification efforts.
