What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on networking role focused on secure, reliable infrastructure, automation, and disaster recovery within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a telecommunications graduate with over three years of hands-on experience administering LAN/WAN environments, Active Directory, server virtualization, and network device configuration. I have designed, implemented, and maintained networks using Cisco equipment, Sophos/Fortinet firewalls, and monitoring tools like Wireshark while automating tasks with Bash, Python, and Ansible.

I consistently prioritize uptime, security, and clear documentation, having implemented backups and disaster recovery procedures and maintained compliance with ISO standards. I am eager to contribute to an organization by ensuring reliable, efficient network infrastructure and supporting business continuity.
