// System Administrator · L2–L3 · 15+ years in IT
System administrator with experience supporting distributed IT infrastructure in retail, hospitality, and entertainment. I can take over an unfamiliar infrastructure, figure it out, document it, and improve it. I work with Windows and Linux, virtualization, networking, monitoring, and automation. I like things that run quietly, without surprises.
