Systems administrator with over three years across Active Directory, Entra ID, and VMware vSphere, automating identity and endpoint provisioning with PowerShell to cut manual labor across technician teams. I emphasize documentation and root cause analysis, having eliminated recurring ticket categories rather than treating them as routine. US Citizen based in Sacramento and actively relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area within two weeks of a formal offer.

Work Experience
#

  • Decrease onboarding and offboarding provisioning time by 20 minutes per user by automating identity lifecycle workflows across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and SCCM/MCM for consistent endpoint provisioning.
  • Migrate domain controllers to Windows Server 2022 across two production sites with zero authentication downtime on VMware vSphere.
  • Reduce one hour of manual labor per endpoint and standardized deployment across the technician team by engineering a modular PowerShell provisioning framework.
  • Eliminate an entire recurring ticket category and reduced support volume by 89 tickets over a two-month tracking period by driving root cause analysis on repeat support and security incidents.

Systems Administrator (Contract)
#

08/2024 – 10/2024

Junior Systems Administrator
#

01/2023 – 08/2024

California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control | Sacramento, CA

  • Streamlined per-device manual deployment time by 80% across all new endpoint agency-wide by reducing Windows Autopilot deployment from 20 technician steps to 4 through PowerShell and Batch scripting.
  • Stood up an ITSM platform processing roughly 800 tickets per month within a 4-month deployment by leading end-to-end rollout of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus.

Projects
#

Virtualization and Hybrid Cloud Lab (Ongoing)
#

  • Unified identity across Windows and Linux systems by implementing hybrid identity management with Windows Server 2022 Active Directory, SSSD/Kerberos for Linux domain join, and Entra Connect password hash sync.
  • Hosted Active Directory, WireGuard VPN, backup infrastructure, DNS/DHCP, and storage services onto a self-managed virtualization platform by administering a multi-host Proxmox VE environment across two physical servers running 6 to 10 Ubuntu/Debian Linux VMs and containers.
  • Achieved a 2-hour full-environment VM restore time and validated recovery of a full 40TB data set within one week by establishing a multi-target backup strategy across Veeam Backup and Replication and Proxmox Backup Server.

GCP Cloud Infrastructure and Delivery Pipeline (Ongoing)
#

  • Provisioned and operate a containerized application on Google Cloud Run by defining VPC networking, IAM, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Secret Manager, and Cloudflare DNS proxying entirely through Terraform infrastructure as code.
  • Automated the path from code commit to live deployment by configuring a Cloud Build CI/CD pipeline that builds a Docker image, pushes to Artifact Registry, and redeploys to Cloud Run on every push.
