About
UNIX/IBM Power administrator with ~20 years of experience across AIX, Solaris, and Linux, including HMC/LPAR provisioning, NIM-based builds, and PowerHA (IBM Spectrum System Mirror) clustering with validated failover as part of rolling patching. Has led cross-team infrastructure work (network/storage/DB/SAP), built SOPs used by junior admins, and automated SLES patching and .GOV-aligned hardening checks; also supported an AWS re-platform migration that later reverted to on-prem ESXi due to cost.
