Professional Experience
IT System Administrator
In my current role, I serve as the IT System Administrator for a scientific company specializing in sleep scoring for clinical trials. As an IT all-rounder, I am responsible for managing an on-premise, a data center and an AWS cloud-based infrastructure.
The core responsibilities of my role include administering Linux servers, provisioning and maintaining containerized services, and managing KVM and VMware hypervisors. This involves handling Linux-based webservers, file and storage services, overseeing backup and patch management, and monitoring. Utilizing AWS-based services for secure, automated data exchanges between global customers and on-premise hosted services. Additionally, providing infrastructure resources to the development team, as well as managing Microsoft 365 services and Active Directory domains.
Recently, my focus has been on building a VMware based infrastructure from scratch, which included developing a new network scheme, and transitioning the existing KVM infrastructure to the VMware platform. Furthermore, the development of a new Veeam-based backup system that covers the entire on-premise infrastructure.
With several years of professional experience in both Microsoft environments and Linux systems, I have developed a strong foundation in IT. Over two years, I worked for a software manufacturer, managing the internal infrastructure and serving as senior support for customers.
My key responsibilities included the installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of Microsoft SQL servers, as well as orchestrating software rollouts. Set up and managing virtualized environments using VMware for server and client systems.
Further building a automation system with PowerShell for Remote Desktop Services combined with Active Directory, for a customer portal. I was also responsible for the management of Group Policy Objects and adept in handling Microsoft 365 services. Maintenance tasks for Windows clients and servers, Linux servers and webservers, as well as monitoring rollouts with Nagios were a part of my duties.
Working with AWS quickly became a highlight of my IT career, establishing it as one of my favorite platforms.
In my role, I specialize in automating and securing the exchange of customer data using AWS. This includes integrating AWS services with on-premise systems for data sortage and synchronization. This encompasses access policies, storage and computing services, webhosting solutions, notifications, backups and billing alerts.
