About

Professional summary

I am an IT Infrastructure and Automation Engineer with more than seven years of experience in systems administration, cloud operations, network engineering, workflow automation, and enterprise service delivery. I build resilient, secure, high-availability technical environments for financial services, clean energy, and other operationally critical organizations.

I specialize in integrating systems through Python, PHP, JavaScript, Google Apps Script, PowerShell, Bash, APIs, and webhooks. My work includes automation pipelines, data aggregation, dashboarding, loan lifecycle workflows, payment integrations, and real-time communication integrations.

I have hands-on experience administering cloud collaboration, endpoint management, network infrastructure, contact-centre platforms, firewalls, VPNs, identity and access management, and backup operations. I work with Google Workspace, Microsoft Intune, Symantec Endpoint Security, MikroTik, Cisco technologies, Ameyo, and enterprise monitoring and support systems.

I apply ITIL 4 service-management principles to incident, problem, change, vendor, and SLA management. I have coordinated major incidents across multiple countries, strengthened security controls through RBAC and least-privilege access, and supported compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, fintech, and central-bank cybersecurity requirements.

I also deliver AI, cloud, data, and cybersecurity training for non-technical teams. I translate technical concepts into practical workflows, training materials, prompt libraries, dashboards, and secure digital collaboration practices that help organizations improve adoption and operational decision-making.

I am actively seeking international opportunities with visa sponsorship and am open to immediate relocation across Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. I am also available for remote roles globally.
