Job overview

  • As a Senior Systems Engineer and Cloud Infrastructure Specialist, I designed and implemented scalable system and network architectures, enhancing operational efficiency by over 40% and supporting rapid business growth. I led cross-functional teams of 5–10 engineers, troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues, which resulted in a 35% improvement in incident response times.
  • I spearheaded the migration of 500+ legacy systems to Azure Cloud, enabling seamless scalability and reducing infrastructure costs by 20%. Leveraging my expertise in automation and scripting, I developed robust tools that reduced system deployment times by 50% and minimised human error occurrences.
  • Focused on security compliance, I implemented comprehensive protocols that safeguarded sensitive company data, achieving 100% compliance in quarterly audits. I mentored 6+ junior engineers, fostering a collaborative environment emphasising best practices, continuous learning, and professional growth.
  • Driven by my interest in artificial intelligence, I pursued a Master’s in AI, integrating data-driven solutions into traditional IT frameworks. I implemented AI-based predictive analytics for system health monitoring, which reduced unexpected downtimes by 25%, and explored automation enhancements using machine learning for smarter self-healing systems.
  • Additionally, I conducted performance assessments across more than 100 servers, optimising resource utilisation and saving approximately $ 200,000 annually in operational costs. I implemented virtualisation technologies, consolidating physical servers by 30% and reducing the data centre footprint. I collaborated with stakeholders to define project requirements, delivering innovative solutions aligned with business objectives.
  • My proactive approach in evaluating emerging technologies, designing disaster recovery plans, and integrating AI-enabled automation into workflows drove operational excellence, improved reliability, and positioned the organisation with a strong competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
