I diagnosed, designed, and upgraded enterprise and desktop technologies and configurations, as well as performed virtualization, storage, and server management functions. I resolved clients related software and hardware concerns through research and problem solving. I worked on client issues via incident/trouble tickets. I developed and executed migration plans between various storage systems. I automated tasks using scripting language such as Python or Bash. I handled backups at all classification levels. I also established and maintained user accounts, profiles, file sharing, access privileges, and security. Additionally, I installed, modified, and maintained lab systems, network elements, and utility software on virtualized servers.A few highlights:* Spearheaded the deployment of V9000 and successfully coordinated the support model* Due to exceptional communication skills and work performance, recipient of Outstanding Award in Client Support.* Created in-depth procedures, programs, and documentations for troubleshooting and restoring host data, operating systems, and applications.
