I am an experienced AIX and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Systems Administrator with a strong background supporting enterprise-scale, mission-critical environments. I have hands-on experience managing IBM Power systems, AIX and RHEL servers, and supporting highly available infrastructure with a focus on performance, stability, and security.

My expertise includes LPAR and VIOS administration, HMC operations, OS patching, system upgrades, performance tuning, and troubleshooting across both AIX and Linux platforms. I have worked closely with application, database, storage, and network teams to deliver reliable system operations and successfully support production workloads. I am comfortable working in 24x7 environments, participating in on-call rotations, and executing planned maintenance during change windows while following ITIL and change-management best practices.

I am a proactive problem-solver who takes ownership of systems, continuously learns new technologies, and focuses on delivering stable, secure, and scalable infrastructure. I am now seeking an opportunity where I can contribute my AIX and RHEL expertise while continuing to grow in a challenging enterprise environment.
