Senior IT professional with 20+ years of experience executing complex technical tasks in enterprise environments, specializing in secure infrastructure deployment, cloud configuration, systems migration, automation, and operational troubleshooting. I design, implement, validate, and document technical work independently with minimal supervision, delivering structured outputs, logs, screenshots, and verification artifacts upon completion. Core capabilities include Microsoft 365 administration (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, Defender), Azure and AWS provisioning, VMware ESXi/vSphere and Hyper-V virtualization, Windows Server (2000–2025) and modern Windows endpoint management, Linux systems (Red Hat, Ubuntu, Fedora), enterprise networking, firewall configuration, VPN deployment (including FortiNet appliances), endpoint security hardening, backup and disaster recovery planning and execution (Veeam, Zerto, Dell Rapid Recovery), P2V and V2V migrations, storage management, secure remote workforce enablement, and infrastructure monitoring and optimization. I operate with a security-first mindset and follow structured change control, rollback planning, and validation procedures to reduce risk and ensure continuity. Certifications include VMware VCA-DBT, Microsoft MCSA and MCP, ITIL Foundation, CompTIA A+, and Network+. Strengths include reliability, precision, clear technical communication, and aligning technology execution with defined business or operational objectives. I am well suited for AI-directed tasks requiring secure cloud operations, infrastructure deployment, system migrations, network configuration, compliance support, technical audits, or complex troubleshooting with verifiable completion evidence and documented results.
