Data Center Technician at Smart InfraCo Company who improved power usage effectiveness to 1.27 and cut energy use by 10.7%.
What I'm looking for
At Smart InfraCo Company, I improved power usage effectiveness to 1.27 and cut energy use by 10.7% across systems using electrical load calculations and NetEco configuration. I also deployed infrastructure in a live Tier 3 environment with zero-disruption service delivery for hosted clients.
I authored monthly root cause analysis reports that helped reduce recurring infrastructure failures by 35%. During a genset and ATS failure, I coordinated troubleshooting and fault isolation to restore power to mission-critical systems within 10 minutes.
At Fire Shield Company Limited, I led a team of engineers through preventive maintenance and incident response, achieving 99.9% uptime. I also coordinated vendor engagement to restore 20-ton cooling capacity and developed an ATS voltage calibration MOP.
At NITA, I monitored critical infrastructure and supported fibre diagnostics and repairs, helping sustain 99.99% availability and SLA commitments. I hold a BSc in Physics (Electronics), am pursuing an MSc in Communication Systems and Network Engineering, and have certifications in data centers, ITIL, and AWS cloud.
