Experienced System Administrator transitioning to Cloud and DevOps.
What I'm looking for
I am a System Administrator with hands-on experience in AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 administration, responsible for provisioning and managing cloud and on-premise infrastructure. I manage Windows, Linux, and macOS environments and administer Active Directory and Azure Entra ID.
I containerize applications using Docker and implement CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and I deploy web apps on IIS, Nginx, Azure App Services, AWS EC2, Amplify and Lightsail. I manage repositories, access controls, and resolve Git issues for developer environments.
I have delivered measurable outcomes on cloud projects—provisioning Azure VMs, App Services, and Azure SQL Elastic Pools, reducing infrastructure costs by 25% and improving system performance by 30% through tuning and right-sizing. I also configured monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana and enforce security best practices and RBAC across environments.
I have worked in IT support and academic IT administration since 2012, coordinating vendor procurement, managing IT assets, and training users. I am actively transitioning into Cloud and DevOps roles where I can apply automation, infrastructure-as-code, and continuous delivery to improve reliability and uptime.
