I am a results-driven Systems Engineer with over 20 years of experience in optimizing IT infrastructure, enhancing security, and delivering technical support. My expertise lies in VMware, Office 365, Active Directory, and cloud solutions, complemented by a strong background in systems administration, security audits, and IT project management. I am adept at troubleshooting complex technical issues, leading teams, and improving operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for driving system automation and ensuring compliance with industry standards. In my recent role as a Technical Support Analyst at Optum, I provided technical support for Office 365, InTune, and AWS environments, ensuring seamless operations and security. My previous experience includes managing IT operations at Planned Parenthood, where I led IT department operations and implemented innovative automation solutions that increased efficiency by 70%.
I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to enhance system performance and user satisfaction. I am committed to continuous improvement and look forward to contributing to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and operational excellence.
