System Administrator | Cloud Operations | Security-Focused Infrastructure

I’m a System Administrator with a strong background in cloud operations and security-focused infrastructure. I work hands-on with Linux systems and AWS environments, making sure everything stays up, secure, and running the way it’s supposed to.

I’ve worked on system monitoring, vulnerability remediation, patching, and handling day-to-day operational support in secure environments. I’m big on keeping systems stable, locked down, and efficient without overcomplicating things.

Right now, I’m focused on leveling up my Linux skills as I prepare for my RHCSA, while continuing to build real-world experience in cloud and system administration.

I hold certifications, including AWS Solutions Architect – Associate, AWS AI Practitioner, and ServiceNow CSA, and I’m currently preparing for RHCSA (EX200) and ServiceNow CAD.
