What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in IT where I can leverage my skills in cybersecurity and infrastructure management while contributing to innovative projects and fostering a collaborative team environment.

I am an IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Professional with extensive experience in system administration, firewall management, and network operations. My expertise lies in leveraging cloud platforms such as Office 365 and Google Workspace to enhance operational efficiency and support digital transformation initiatives. I am skilled in managing ITIL-based incident and change management processes, ensuring that organizations can adapt to evolving technological landscapes.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my technical skills and leadership abilities. As a Senior IT Coordinator at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, I managed IT infrastructure and cybersecurity operations across multi-platform environments, leading deployment projects for Office 365 and Google Workspace. My previous experience as a System Administrator at NSB Academy allowed me to maintain network security and provide L2 incident response, ensuring the availability of core IT infrastructure.

With a strong educational background in Computer Science and numerous certifications in cybersecurity and cloud technologies, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and improve processes, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a forward-thinking organization.
