// Who I Am

SEASONED
TECHNOLOGIST

I'm a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of hands-on expertise in enterprise Windows Server and Citrix environments. I design, deploy, and maintain high-availability VDI solutions using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix Cloud, and DaaS — at scale, with precision.

My experience spans Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP, PowerShell automation, SCCM, patch management, and vulnerability remediation across hybrid cloud and on-premise platforms.

I bring both deep technical capability and the communication skills to translate complex infrastructure to stakeholders — from root cause analysis to change management boards.
