About

UNIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on AIX 7.x and Solaris 11.4 operations, including high-severity Oracle/NFS I/O incidents resolved via MTU/Jumbo Frame tuning and performance tooling (iostat/vmstat/top/fio). Experienced in IBM Power (P5–P9) environments with VIOS/LPAR and PowerHA/HACMP (up to 8-node clusters), plus legacy Sun/Oracle SPARC and AIX migrations using custom Bash/Python discovery scripts and rsync-based cutovers.
