What I'm looking for

I seek Linux systems roles managing RHEL infrastructure, improving compliance and automation (Ansible), working with VMware/AWS, and providing reliable 24x7 production support within a collaborative, process-driven team.

I am a Linux System Administrator with over 8 years of combined experience in Linux server administration and IT infrastructure support, including four years focused on RHEL 7/8/9 systems.

At Leadsoc Pvt Ltd I managed RHEL systems for patching, compliance, and updates, created Linux compliance reports (sudo, SSH) using SIM Tool, participated in Change Management via ServiceNow, and built and decommissioned servers on VMware. I managed LVM, kernel updates, filesystems (FSTAB), and provided 24x7 on-call production support while resolving audit gaps.

Earlier, I ran the entire IT infrastructure for Peace School, handling servers, desktops, Active Directory, backups and network issues across labs and classrooms. I bring pragmatic troubleshooting, process-driven change control, and a commitment to expand automation and cloud skills.
