Forged over 18 years within a single, dynamic organization, I haven’t just witnessed technological evolution – I’ve driven it. From commanding front-line teams to architecting enterprise-wide transformations, my career is a testament to relentless progress and resilience under pressure.
I command the digital battlefield: leading teams, mastering sprawling enterprise systems, and reigning over vast virtualization empires built on VMWare and Hyper-V. Active Directory bends to my will. Automation through Ansible is my force multiplier. System health? Monitored with the vigilance of SCOM. When chaos erupts, I am the calm center, directing high-stakes incident response with surgical precision, leveraging the battle-tested Kepner-Tregoe methodology to unmask the root cause when seconds count.
Early victories: I led and honed a 10-strong legion of Windows Administrators, guardians of a critical enterprise server fleet. I orchestrated the monumental migration from a fractured Novell/Microsoft landscape to a unified Active Directory dominion, instantly elevating security and simplifying life for thousands. I then spearheaded a server revolution, driving virtualization from a mere 10% to an overwhelming 80% dominance with VMWare and Hyper-V – slashing costs, optimizing resources, and fortifying disaster recovery.
Mid-career mastery: As a Systems Engineer, I built the digital watchtower using SCOM, delivering unprecedented visibility and proactive threat detection, crushing alert fatigue by 30%. I unleashed Ansible, transforming server deployment from laborious hours into lightning-fast minutes, forging consistency and eradicating errors.
On the bleeding edge: My recent assignment placed me on the elite Special Response Team, the spearhead against catastrophic Severity 1 incidents. I owned the end-to-end counter-attack, marshaling technical forces to restore mission-critical services against the clock. In the crucible of crisis, Kepner-Tregoe became my scalpel, performing rapid, data-driven dissections to pinpoint the true fault lines, demonstrably accelerating Mean Time To Resolution.
My creed is unwavering: Build robust. Drive efficiency. Ensure security. Decades of foundational knowledge are supercharged by hands-on expertise in today’s automation and cloud frontiers. Complexity doesn’t intimidate; it invigorates. Armed with structured problem-solving, I stand ready to conquer the next technological frontier.
