I help businesses design, migrate, secure, troubleshoot, and stabilize cloud and IT infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Windows, Linux, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, VMware, and hybrid environments.
I bring more than 18 years of hands-on enterprise infrastructure experience and hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification. My focus is on dependable implementation, minimal disruption, clear communication, and practical documentation.
How I can help:
- AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure design, deployment, administration, and troubleshooting
- Windows Server, Linux, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, and DHCP
- Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Exchange Online, and Google Workspace administration
- Infrastructure troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and incident recovery
- Cloud, server, application, website, and business email migrations
- DNS, SSL/TLS, CDN, domain, and web-hosting configuration
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, SMTP, mail flow, and email-delivery troubleshooting
- VMware vSphere, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and access reviews
- Terraform, infrastructure as code, PowerShell, Bash, and operational automation
- Infrastructure assessments, technical documentation, and handover
My cross-technology experience helps me trace problems across cloud, servers, identity, networking, DNS, email, storage, databases, and applications rather than treating each system in isolation.
I support both new deployments and existing environments, including modernization, migrations, service recovery, performance troubleshooting, security improvements, and ongoing infrastructure support.
I begin by understanding the current environment, technical dependencies, business risks, and required outcome. I then implement changes carefully, validate the completed work, and provide clear documentation and recommendations for ongoing operations.
My aim is to deliver infrastructure that is stable, secure, well documented, and practical to operate.
