01 / PROFILE

From hardware to
business-critical platforms.

I started in hands-on electronics, hardware, software and network support before moving into enterprise infrastructure and application operations. That foundation still shapes how I troubleshoot: understand the system end-to-end, isolate the failure, fix the root cause and leave the environment better documented.

Today my strongest intersection is between infrastructure and applications — supporting production platforms, business users, databases, Windows servers and automation while working across teams and technologies.
