Technical Project Manager
I am a project manager and technical advisor with interest in a wide range of modern information technologies. Originally self-educated, I have knowledge on automation, virtualization, containerization, encryption, networking, programming, and other tools that form the basis of strong small-scale and enterprise IT infrastructure environments. I have experience working with firewalls, virtualization environments, container orchestration, API integration, VPN/VLAN/SD-WAN routing and connectivity, vulnerability management, automated backup/DLP/data validation procedures, and storage/platform migrations & upgrades, both in the home-lab environment and for large-scale business applications. I have coordinated and completed projects for all of the above, including long-term planning, technical design review and continuous collaboration with non-IT personnel, while ensuring resource allocations and project timelines align with the real goals and procedures of the business as a whole.
