What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am an experienced IT Infrastructure Specialist with over 9 years of hands-on expertise in managing Microsoft Windows Server environments and VMware virtualization across enterprise-scale infrastructures. My proficiency lies in deploying, configuring, and maintaining server and virtualization technologies, adhering to ITIL best practices and change management protocols. I have a proven track record in diagnosing and resolving high-severity incidents within defined SLAs, conducting thorough root cause analyses, and ensuring operational stability, system uptime, and business continuity.

Currently, I serve as a Systems Administrator at Thermo Fisher Scientific, where I provide remote support for over 6,000 servers across global client data centers and manage AWS-based servers in a cloud infrastructure. My previous roles at NTT Data, DXC Technologies, Infosys, and HGS have equipped me with the skills to troubleshoot complex VMware issues, implement changes with minimal service downtime, and document processes for knowledge sharing. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills to enhance system performance and reliability.
