IT Professional & Systems Engineer
21+ years across networks, systems, cloud infrastructure & cybersecurity. From field support to cloud architecture — building resilient, secure technology.
I'm a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of hands-on experience spanning the full technology stack — from physical hardware and network cabling to cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity architecture.
My career has taken me through field support & technical services, systems and network engineering, cloud architecture, and cybersecurity. I've led multiple IT teams and managed cross-functional projects from inception through delivery.
I believe strongly in automation wherever applicable. My approach combines deep technical expertise with strategic thinking and a relentless drive toward sustainable, robust resolution — not band-aid fixes.
Solo end-to-end delivery of a production VMware ESXi hypervisor hosting multiple headless game servers on a WAN network, serving 20,000+ active users across an ISP. Owned every phase: planning, architecture, implementation, testing, maintenance, and support handoff.
Fully segmented home network: ISP → PfSense firewall → managed switch with multiple VLANs isolating servers, internal devices, and IoT. Self-hosted password manager on an air-gapped VLAN, Synology NAS, and a Linux SIEM generating automated security reports by email.
Led full migration of an organization's on-premise environment to AWS. Restructured server roles, separated application and database tiers, designed private/public VPC segmentation, and hardened the infrastructure with security groups and ACLs following least-privilege principles.
End-to-end DevOps pipeline built for learning and portfolio purposes. Covers full infrastructure-as-code provisioning on AWS, automated server configuration, app containerization, and a complete CI/CD pipeline — with monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana planned for Phase 3.
