I am a Systems Administrator, Programmer, and IT Systems Architect with a passion for designing and maintaining high‑performance computing environments. I specialize in building robust hardware and software systems, managing complex network infrastructures, and ensuring seamless operation of critical IT assets.
My expertise spans the full spectrum of system administration, from maintaining high‑availability virtualization environments using Proxmox and Hyper‑V to optimizing storage solutions like iSCSI and HP iLO IPMI. I have extensive experience with both Windows and Linux systems and often utilize Python to automate workflows and enhance system efficiency.
