What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and offers opportunities for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated system administrator with over 5 years of experience in managing complex IT infrastructures. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have honed my skills in Active Directory, server administration, and cloud technologies, particularly AWS. I thrive in challenging environments where I can apply my technical expertise to solve problems and enhance system performance.

At QAD, I manage over 10,000 servers globally, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency. I have successfully led multiple projects, including IIS certificate deployments and OS upgrades, demonstrating my ability to deliver results under pressure. My previous experience at Larsen & Toubro Infotech further solidified my skills in virtualization and network management, making me a well-rounded professional in the IT domain.
