What I'm looking for

I’m open to Linux systems administration, systems engineering, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, backup and data protection, and related IT infrastructure roles.

At Nymbis Cloud Solutions, I administered VMware infrastructure across 300+ VMs and designed and managed the organization’s Veeam data protection environment. The environment supported 250+ backup jobs, 64TB on S3 object storage, and 4TB on BorgBackup.

When an accidental deletion corrupted customer data on S3, I diagnosed the issue and used a MinIO Client (mc) heal operation to recover 14TB with no permanent loss. I also served as the primary escalation point for backup and recovery systems.

Previously, at Telkom, I administered and supported Linux systems across approximately 56 VMs, handling troubleshooting, patching, configuration management, and maintenance. I’m open to Linux systems administration, systems engineering, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and backup and data protection roles.
