From datacenters to the cloud.

I'm an Erasmus Mundus CyberMACS Scholar 🇪🇺 with 5+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise IT infrastructure, system administration, and infrastructure operations, gained across both utility and banking environments.

My experience covers the full infrastructure lifecycle: deploying and supporting end-user and network infrastructure, and administering enterprise servers, virtualization platforms, identity services, storage, databases, and high-availability environments.

🏢 Enterprise IT Experience

Throughout my career, I've worked hands-on with:

⚙️ System Administration & Infrastructure Operations

Provisioning, configuration, troubleshooting, monitoring, patching, and maintenance of enterprise IT environments.

🖥️ Servers & Virtualization

IBM Power Systems/AIX, VMware, Linux, and Windows server environments supporting enterprise services.

🔐 Identity, Access & Endpoint Security

Active Directory Domain Services, user and group administration, permissions, OUs, GPOs, endpoint security, antivirus, and DLP.

🌐 Network & IT Infrastructure

Deployment and troubleshooting of routers, switches, firewalls, LAN connectivity, workstations, printers, and distributed branch infrastructure.

🔄 Automation & Infrastructure Management

Designed and implemented Ansible automation for AIX server provisioning and PowerHA operations, making infrastructure management more consistent and efficient.

🏦 Critical & Regulated Environments

Supported infrastructure and services within a large banking environment, including enterprise storage, databases, virtualization, and high-availability platforms.

🛡️ Security Operations & Remediation

Worked with security teams to investigate server security findings and implement corrective configurations and hardening measures.

📚 Process Standardization & Knowledge Management

Contributed to a team effort that consolidated infrastructure procedures into a centralized internal knowledge repository, improving standardization, knowledge transfer, and onboarding.

🚀 Where I'm Taking This Experience

My infrastructure background shaped my interest in cybersecurity from the infrastructure side.

I care not just about how systems get secured, but how secure environments are designed, deployed, operated, automated, monitored, and governed.

Right now I'm building expertise in:

Cybersecurity & Security Engineering

Cloud & AWS Security

Identity & Access Management (IAM) & Zero Trust

DevSecOps & Infrastructure as Code

Security Automation with Python & Terraform

Kubernetes & Container Security

Security Governance & Compliance

NIS2, DORA & ISO 27001 aligned security practices

🧩 Learning Through Practice

I learn best by building things and applying concepts to realistic environments.

My projects and labs explore areas including:

🔹 AWS security baselines and cloud hardening

🔹 Terraform based secure infrastructure

🔹 Cloud security monitoring and detection

🔹 IAM hardening and access governance

🔹 Kubernetes and container security

🔹 Security automation

🔹 Infrastructure and security as code

🔹 Compliance and security control mapping

I'm especially drawn to the intersection of enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud, identity, automation, and governance, and to turning security requirements into practical, measurable, repeatable technical solutions.

🎯 Career Direction

My goal is to grow into a well rounded cybersecurity professional with a strong infrastructure foundation, specializing across security engineering, cloud security, identity, automation, and governance.

I want to combine the practical perspective I gained running real enterprise environments with modern security engineering and cloud technologies, building systems that are functional and resilient, but also secure, automated, and governed by design.
