What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead and secure enterprise network infrastructure—designing, optimizing LAN/WAN/WLAN, firewalls/VPNs, and disaster recovery—while mentoring teams and partnering cross-functionally to keep systems highly available and aligned with business objectives.

I’m a results-driven Senior Network Administrator and IT Leader with 8+ years of progressive experience designing, deploying, and managing complex network infrastructures across enterprise and multi-site environments. My focus is on routing protocols, LAN/WAN/WLAN administration, firewall & VPN configuration, cloud networking, and virtualization technologies—always with high availability, optimized performance, and business continuity in mind.

I bring a strong leadership track record as well, managing and mentoring IT teams and bridging technology and HR functions through roles including IT and HR Vice Manager and IT Section Chief. In practice, I translate complex technical requirements into practical solutions, coordinate with vendors and cross-functional teams, and implement disciplined processes like automated data backups and disaster recovery readiness—supported by ongoing education (BSc in Information Systems and MSc in Computer Science in progress).
