Summary

With more than a decade of experience, I've evolved from a Desktop Support role into an IT Specialist proficient in Microsoft Active Directory, Veeam backup, disaster  recovery, M365 Administration and VMware vSphere. Previously I served as a team lead, mentoring new members, and in my latest role, I autonomously managed CEO operations, project delivery, and stakeholder expectations.
