I have extensive knowledge in System Engineering with experience in Windows and Linux servers plus storage and networking.
I obtained my Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a specialization in Linear and Non-linear Control Systems.
I am a subject matter expert in IT Automation, remotely manage over 1000 servers spread across 4 different continents at Chevron. I have expanded my breadth of experience as a DevOps Engineer with skills in IT process control which includes Release Management, Project Management, System Automation, Configuration Management and Monitoring.
My academic background plus technical experience makes me a great fit for a position in Process Control and Information Systems. My experience affords me the opportunity to easily integrate IT infrastructure into Control Systems, and be a part of a team that accomplishes corporate goals. I am seeking a position where I can drive full system automation of the infrastructure, minimizing manual tasks, streamlining processes and creating a fully autonomous system.
