IT Professional  |  Linux Infrastructure

I build and operate Linux infrastructure across multiple nodes, running containerized services, virtualization, encrypted storage, and automated backups. I am completing a B.S. in Information Technology at Arizona State University with a concentration in Cybersecurity and Networking, and I run a dedicated Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment for RHCSA preparation. I am looking for a Linux systems administration or IT infrastructure role where I can take that hands-on foundation into production.
