I’m a System Administrator specializing in Windows Server, Microsoft 365 support, and server security.
What I'm looking for
I’m a System Administrator and first point of contact for technical inquiries, owning support tickets end-to-end with timely, accurate first call resolution. I monitor system health and performance metrics, document resolved issues to build a practical knowledge base, and ensure policies and procedures are fully implemented.
Across my roles, I’ve installed, configured, and maintained Windows Server environments, planned and executed server upgrades, and managed Microsoft 365 services including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams, and OneDrive. I also bring strong incident and security focus—ensuring infrastructure compliance with security best practices, performing security monitoring and tests, and using ITIL (V4) to improve service delivery through SLA-driven troubleshooting and escalation.
