What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous learning and offers opportunities for growth in cloud and system administration.

I am a seasoned System Administrator with over 3 years of experience managing diverse UNIX environments, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, CentOS, SUSE, and AIX. My expertise extends beyond administration to encompass the implementation and management of robust backup solutions, ensuring data security and accessibility. I pride myself on crafting clear, concise documentation and effectively communicating technical information to various audiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully upgraded systems, deployed archiving solutions, and played a key role in storage and SAN migrations. My commitment to continuous learning drives me to stay updated on emerging technologies in AIX and Linux administration. I have a strong foundation in scripting and automation, utilizing tools like Bash and Ansible to enhance operational efficiency.
