About

I specialize in middleware platform operations, secure file transfer systems, and infrastructure automation — working across UNIX/Linux, Windows, and OpenShift environments. I approach operations with an automation-first mindset, building Ansible playbooks, Python scripts, Bash and PowerShell automations to eliminate manual effort. I support mission-critical integration infrastructures, contributing to installation, configuration, incident management, and operational improvements within SLA-driven environments. Collaborating closely with application, infrastructure, and network teams, I take part in root-cause analysis and permanent resolution initiatives.
