27 years in enterprise infrastructure

I am a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 27+ years of IT experience supporting enterprise infrastructure, application hosting, platform modernization, and cloud migration initiatives. Over 17 years at International Paper — a Fortune 500 leader in sustainable packaging, pulp, and paper products — I helped modernize and support large-scale hosting environments serving more than 1,300 business-critical applications across Windows, Linux, and hybrid cloud platforms.

My experience includes Microsoft Azure, Azure Front Door, Azure Application Proxy, Azure DNS, Azure CDN, Windows Server, Microsoft IIS, PowerShell automation, Linux, networking, load balancing, SSL/TLS certificate management, and enterprise application hosting. I have collaborated with development, infrastructure, networking, and operations teams to deliver secure, reliable, and highly available solutions across complex enterprise environments.

I specialize in infrastructure modernization, cloud migration, application migration, PowerShell automation, and operational efficiency. I developed migration automation that reduced manual effort by approximately 75% while helping lead server modernization initiatives involving more than 1,300 applications and APIs.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology through Western Governors University and continue expanding my cloud and infrastructure expertise through ongoing education and certification development.
