I currently work in the public sector as a SOC System Administrator, where I manage, secure, and maintain critical systems in high-stakes environments. With over three years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity operations, I specialize in vulnerability management, patch compliance, and secure system configuration across Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, VMware infrastructure, and cloud-based platforms such as Microsoft Azure. My certifications include the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) and Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), and I am actively engaged in teaching these topics to aspiring IT professionals.
In addition to my technical role, I have a strong passion for education. I tutor adult learners and career changers in the evenings, helping them prepare for Red Hat certification exams (EX200, EX294). My teaching style is hands-on, with a focus on building practical skills through virtual labs and real-world scenarios. I develop structured lesson plans, quizzes, and walkthroughs to support learner success and have seen many of my students pass their certifications and land system administrator roles. My teaching experience is primarily one-on-one and in small cohorts, where I emphasize clarity, patience, and adaptability to each learner’s pace and background.
This combination of real-world industry experience and a strong instructional foundation enables me to break down complex technical concepts and make them accessible to learners from diverse backgrounds.
