Summary

Seasoned IT professional with extensive experience in network administration, server management, virtualization technologies, monitoring solutions, and firewall administration. In recent years, I’ve shifted my focus toward cloud technologies, earning certifications in Microsoft Azure and AWS to complement my on-premises expertise. With this blend of on premises experience and cloud knowledge, I’m looking to transition into a cloud focused role where I can apply both sets of skills to drive secure, scalable, and efficient solutions.
