What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a certified and experienced Systems Engineer with over 4 years in IT infrastructure support. My expertise lies in server administration, virtualization, backups, and cloud services. I have a proven ability to manage and optimize enterprise systems and infrastructure, ensuring their availability, performance, and security. I am currently seeking to leverage my skills in a challenging Infrastructure Support or Systems Administrator role.

In my recent position as an Infrastructure Engineer Consultant at Letshego Holdings Limited, I monitored and maintained both physical and virtual infrastructure across multiple countries, focusing on Windows Server environments and VMware/AWS platforms. I have successfully administered core services such as Active Directory and Azure AD, ensuring seamless user authentication and resource access. My proactive approach to disaster recovery and business continuity has helped maintain high compliance standards and support risk management initiatives.

Previously, as a System Engineer at HARDPRO (Pty) Ltd, I led significant infrastructure projects, including deploying Dell EMC compute and storage arrays and implementing enterprise backup systems for major clients. My technical skills encompass a wide range of areas, including virtualization, cloud platforms, and networking, which I continuously enhance through certifications and hands-on experience.
