What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a dedicated Linux administration role where I can bring my infrastructure experience and hands-on RHEL, Arch, and Proxmox administration to a Linux systems team.

In my Personal Infrastructure Lab, I designed a six-phase Infrastructure Lifecycle Management framework with a Git-backed configuration database for IPAM, role-based secrets, and hardware asset lifecycles.

I built a Proxmox VE environment to provision RHEL 9 and Arch nodes, secured with MikroTik RouterOS VLAN segmentation and isolated containerized DNS/DHCP services. I also manage LVM storage, systemd service dependencies, and mandatory access control policies.

At Sean Ferguson Technical Services, I performed low-voltage contract work and deployed secure wireless networks using MikroTik and Ubiquiti hardware. I also designed database-driven websites using Joomla, Ghost, and Flask; at SunStream Hotels & Resorts, I maintained a multi-building mesh network and helped move service from satellite to cable ISP, reducing monthly costs by 50%.
