Senior Systems Engineer
Verified
With over 15 years of experience in IT infrastructure, I specialize in designing, managing, and securing complex systems that keep businesses running smoothly. My background spans systems architecture, database administration, network security, and project management, with a strong focus on reliability and efficiency. I have extensive experience with virtualization platforms like ESXi, Hyper-V, and Nutanix, as well as cloud environments including AWS and Azure. Managing thousands of physical and virtual servers, I’ve worked to eliminate single points of failure, ensuring seamless operations with minimal downtime. On the data side, I’ve administered SQL servers in both standalone and clustered configurations, supporting ERP systems with millions of records while optimizing performance and integrity. Networking and security are also core strengths—I’ve worked with Cisco and Palo Alto systems to maintain secure, high-availability environments. Additionally, I leverage modern technology stacks such as Docker and Kubernetes for containerized deployments and use PowerShell and Bash scripting to automate and streamline workflows. Beyond the technical side, I’ve led over 100 projects that improved business operations and cut costs. Whether troubleshooting a critical issue or designing a scalable infrastructure, I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every challenge. Let’s connect—I’m always open to discussing new opportunities and innovative solutions.More...
