Network support specialist and DevOps engineer focused on reliable infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I am a Network Support Specialist and DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience in desktop support, network administration, virtualization, and cloud automation. I blend academic training in computer applications with practical, remote work for international clients.
I have delivered remote support and system administration services for organizations across the US, managing Active Directory, Exchange Server, VPNs, PC imaging, and asset tracking. I have also designed and implemented project-specific environments and automated tasks with scripts and AWS Lambda.
I maintain a private virtual lab for networking practice and train learners of varied backgrounds in networking principles, remote support tools, and virtualization technologies. My project work includes an attendance system using Python with Haar Cascade and LBP, and a cyber-threat classification project with CBR and cosine similarity.
I am passionate about building resilient infrastructure, improving operational efficiency through automation, and teaching technical skills. I seek roles where I can apply networking, systems administration, and DevOps practices to deliver measurable improvements.
