What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on infrastructure role where I can manage virtualization, networks, and security, contribute to uptime and resilience, and grow with a collaborative team.

I am an IT specialist with over 10 years of hands-on experience managing physical and virtual infrastructure, including VMware vSphere/ESXi, Windows Server, Linux, and enterprise firewalls such as FortiGate, Juniper SRX, and Check Point. I have designed and maintained Active Directory environments, implemented backup and recovery with Veeam, and optimized network performance using VLANs, routers, and switches to ensure secure, resilient operations.

I bring strong hardware diagnostics and server administration skills, experience with HPE iLO and Dell iDRAC, and PowerShell scripting for VMware automation. I am results-oriented, detail-focused, and committed to staying current with IT and security trends to deliver reliable support and continuous improvement.
