• Operations: Monitoring, capacity planning, SLA-oriented service delivery, lifecycle management

• FinOps / Cost: Cloud cost awareness, budgeting support, vendor optimization

• Security & Compliance: Identity and access management, vulnerability management, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001

• Service Management: ITIL-aligned practices, documentation, runbooks, continuous improvement

• Project Management: 20+ years managing IT projects from small initiatives to large-scale infrastructure and migration programs; full lifecycle ownership; cross-functional stakeholder coordination

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
  Private Infrastructure Laboratory | Ongoing

• Network Engineering: Architected a high-availability network using the UniFi ecosystem (Firewalls, IDS/IPS, managed switches, WAP deployment) to test perimeter security and seamless roaming.

• Security & Observability: Deploy and manage full-stack monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace) and security layers (SIEM, XDR/EDR) to validate threat detection in isolated environments.

• Advanced Infrastructure: Manage a multi-hypervisor environment (Proxmox, Hyper-V, ESXi) to test containerized workloads and host open-source AI inference models for evaluation of local data privacy and processing costs.

• Service Architecture: Prototyping core services (IAM, GPO, DNS, DHCP) to validate transition paths from legacy systems to modern hybrid clouds.
