system profile

I'm a results-driven IT Manager and Systems Administrator with over five years spent keeping IT systems, databases, and networks available and secure — most notably in the hospitality sector, where downtime isn't an option.

My core stack spans database administration (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB) and systems engineering (Fortigate firewalls, networking, routing), backed by hands-on cybersecurity practice and vendor management experience.

I'm currently looking for a senior systems or database administrator / IT manager role where I can put leadership and vendor management to work on infrastructure that matters.
