What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in a dynamic environment where I can leverage my Linux expertise and contribute to enhancing system security and performance.

I am a dedicated Linux administrator with extensive experience in system support and IT services. My career has been focused on the installation, configuration, and maintenance of Linux server-based systems. I have successfully managed a variety of Linux distributions, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, and CentOS, ensuring optimal performance and security for the systems I oversee.

Throughout my professional journey, I have led significant projects, such as a technical site relocation involving 35 servers, completed in just two days. My ability to resolve complex issues, such as load balancing challenges, has resulted in high client satisfaction. I am passionate about improving operational efficiency, as demonstrated by my development of automated installation processes that reduced installation time by 30% and post-installation errors by 45%.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong commitment to cybersecurity, managing security products and conducting vulnerability assessments. I thrive in collaborative environments and have successfully worked with cross-functional teams to enhance system security and performance for thousands of users.
