What I'm looking for

I seek senior infrastructure roles focused on Windows/cloud systems, automation (Terraform/PowerShell), virtualization, and collaborative international teams that value reliability and continuous improvement.

I am a senior Windows and infrastructure engineer with over eight years supporting, configuring, and troubleshooting on-premises virtualized servers and cloud environments. I focus on delivering stable, secure, and highly available Windows-based infrastructures.

I have deep experience with Azure, VMware, Hyper-V, and automation using PowerShell and Terraform to migrate and manage virtual machines and infrastructure-as-code. I build and maintain repeatable processes for deployments, monitoring, and patch management to reduce downtime and increase efficiency.

I administer Microsoft 365/Office 365, Exchange Server (on-prem and Exchange Online), Active Directory, SCCM and related services, and I manage backups and DR using Veeam. I routinely handle networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP), monitoring, and system imaging/deployment tools such as MDT and WDS.

I am a pragmatic problem-solver and collaborative team player who documents processes, works effectively with international teams in English, and seeks to improve system reliability through automation, clear procedures, and continuous learning.
