What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on infrastructure role where I can lead Linux/Unix administration, automate operations with Ansible, and improve reliability in a collaborative, security-focused team.

I am a Systems Integration Specialist with over 10 years of experience managing Linux and Unix enterprise infrastructures, focused on reliability and automation.

I have managed 1000+ production servers for major clients in banking, healthcare and aerospace, delivering OS installations, patching, performance tuning and 24x7 support.

I build and maintain automation using Ansible (including Tower and playbooks), and work with VMware vSphere/ESXi, OLVM, NAS/NFS/CIFS and Oracle ASM to streamline operations and reduce manual toil.

I am ITIL v3 certified, experienced in vendor coordination and incident RCA, and I prioritize security hardening, patch management and proactive capacity planning to keep critical systems stable.
