What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior operations or infrastructure roles in 24/7 environments where I can lead NOC efforts, improve system reliability, mentor teams, and work with large-scale Linux, virtualization, and cloud systems.

I am a Linux Systems Administrator with 13+ years' experience managing and monitoring large-scale hosting environments, including 24/7 NOC operations for 1500+ servers. I have deep hands-on expertise across Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS, web and mail servers, virtualization (OpenVZ, Xen, KVM, Virtuozzo), databases (MySQL/Percona), and network services, and I hold certifications including RHCE and AWS Solutions Architect Associate.

In my recent role as Senior System Administrator at A2 Hosting I led monitoring, troubleshooting, malware detection and remediation, MySQL replication fixes and VPS management, added services to Icinga, documented tasks in JIRA/Confluence, and stepped into team leadership when needed — achievements include Employee of the Year (2015) and multiple performance awards.
