@ricardoaranaga
IT operations specialist and web developer focused on automation, systems administration, and efficient support.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT operations specialist and web developer with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a concentration in Cyber Security. I combine hands-on systems administration (Azure/Entra AD, Intune, ServiceNow, CUCM) with scripting (PowerShell) and web development (Vue.js, Hugo, Docker) to automate workflows and improve operational efficiency.
At Clarksons Shipping Services I automated recurring tasks and optimized mailbox mapping scripts, sharing tools across the IT team; previously I built web apps and Dockerized services at Metax and ran my own domain/hosting and web services business. I bring a service-oriented mindset, multilingual communication skills, and proven experience supporting global users and remote sites.
