About
I am Cloud and Virtualization Infrastructure Specialist with 11 years of experience across VMware virtualization, Microsoft technologies, Azure, Windows Server, enterprise datacenters, hyperconverged infrastructure, server hardware, and infrastructure modernization. My core expertise includes VMware vSphere, VMware ESXi, VMware vCenter, Microsoft Azure, Windows Server administration, Hyper-V, Nutanix, Cisco UCS, Cisco HyperFlex, HPE infrastructure, Vblock, HCI, cluster management, capacity planning, firmware management, hardware lifecycle management, and hybrid infrastructure operations. I have delivered and supported VMware upgrades, vCenter deployments and upgrades, ESXi host and cluster implementations, HPE iLO and firmware upgrades, Cisco firmware upgrades, server hardware refreshes, Windows Server patching, Azure server administration, and VMware-to-Nutanix migrations. I have also worked on availability management, problem management, performance optimization, infrastructure capacity planning, SOP development, and operational support across geographically distributed enterprise environments. My approach connects technical execution with business outcomes. I help reduce infrastructure risk by planning upgrades carefully, validating dependencies, coordinating maintenance activities, addressing capacity constraints, and maintaining clear communication with customers and stakeholders. I understand that successful infrastructure modernization requires more than technology. It requires disciplined planning, change control, risk mitigation, documentation, collaboration, and reliable delivery. In addition to hands-on technical responsibilities, I have led a small client-support team and helped coordinate day-to-day operations, escalations, technical activities, and project deliverables. I am comfortable working with customers, application teams, hardware vendors, service management functions, and cross-functional infrastructure teams. I am targeting senior opportunities such as Infrastructure Consultant, VMware Consultant, Cloud Infrastructure Consultant, Virtualization Lead, Datacenter Lead, Technical Lead, Infrastructure Architect, and Solutions Architect. I welcome connections with recruiters, technology leaders, and professionals delivering cloud, virtualization, HCI, and datacenter transformation programs.
