Lead Network and Security, Senior Systems Administrator/Engineer with multiple major IT certifications (e.g. MCSA: Windows Server, CEH, LPIC-1 and Cisco Certified Professional) and more than 15 years work experience. Specialized in Windows servers, Active Directory, backup, virtualization, monitoring and deployment. Also interested in Linux, networking, security, software development and scripting. Excellent documentation skills.

Since 2007 I have worked as a Systems Administrator/Engineer, focusing on several topics like Windows servers, Active Directory, backup, virtualization, patch management and monitoring. Beside that I am also working with Linux servers, develop small applications or plugins (Java, C#, Python) and love automating tasks with scripting (Batch, VBS, Powershell, Linux Shell). I'm also experienced in writing detailed technical documentations for administrators and end users. Further education is very important to me that's why I regularly work on certifications and attend IT courses. Furthermore I am proactive, very punctual and highly organized. In my spare time I enjoy extending my own IT infrastructure and explore upcoming applications and services.
