About me

R89

My IT career began in 2017 while managing an internet and gaming center. That experience showed me that troubleshooting systems, networks, and user issues was more than a responsibility—it was work I genuinely enjoyed.

Since then, I have supported infrastructure across hosting companies, healthcare, the Red Crescent Society, insurance, and industrial environments. My focus is server operations, hosting, email, virtualization, backup, and monitoring.

I prefer finding the root cause instead of applying a temporary fix—mostly because infrastructure issues have a remarkable talent for returning at 3 a.m.
