About Me
IT Professional building expertise in systems administration and cloud infrastructure
I'm an IT professional with a foundation in Navy HR data management, now established in Systems Administration through hands-on infrastructure and cloud support roles. Leveraging robust certifications in Linux, Security, Networking, and Cloud, I'm advancing to mid-level positions in IT operations.
Currently working at Wipro supporting the Microsoft Innovation Hub, I provide AV and virtual engagement support, configure Azure Virtual Machines, and manage hybrid cloud environments. My responsibilities include Layer 2 network configuration, VLAN design, and server room operations.
Prior to my civilian career, I served 10 years in the U.S. Navy as a Personnel Specialist, developing and implementing computerized database management systems to improve personnel tracking and data accuracy. This experience laid the foundation for my technical career.
I hold 9 active certifications including the CompTIA stack (A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+), AWS Cloud Practitioner, and Azure Fundamentals. My active Secret security clearance from military service adds value for government and defense-related opportunities.
