What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to tackle challenging network issues.

I am a dedicated NOC Analyst with extensive experience in monitoring and troubleshooting networks, servers, and applications. My journey began in the telecommunications sector, where I honed my skills in maintaining network integrity and ensuring optimal performance. At Symplr, I proactively managed incidents and supported a follow-the-sun operations center strategy, demonstrating my commitment to operational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have worked with industry-leading tools such as SolarWinds and Alert Logic, and I possess a deep understanding of network protocols and security measures. My role as a Network Support Engineer at IBM allowed me to engage with VIP customers and implement critical network maintenance tasks, showcasing my ability to manage complex IT projects effectively. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to drive success.
