About Me

I'm a system administrator and technical support specialist with hands-on experience across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments. I work comfortably with Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Azure AD, and core networking services like DNS, DHCP, VPN, and secure remote access.

In my recent role at Impreza Technologies, I administered servers and endpoints, managed user access and security, monitored systems, and helped keep services stable and documented. I pair that technical work with strong communication, structured troubleshooting, and a calm approach under pressure—whether it's an incident, a ticket queue, or a production shift.
