Who Am I?

I'm a Support Engineer and Infrastructure Administrator with over 5 years of hands-on experience managing enterprise IT environments, including Linux systems, storage infrastructure, and backup solutions.

My work focuses on diagnosing and resolving critical production issues — from backup failures and system outages to complex permission and configuration problems. I've worked extensively with tools like Dell NetWorker and handled real-time incident troubleshooting in business-critical environments, including banking and insurance sectors. I specialize in solving complex production issues that others escalate.

Beyond day-to-day support, I build and test lab environments to validate fixes, explore edge cases, and improve system reliability. I approach problems methodically — analyzing logs, identifying root causes, and implementing long-term solutions.

I don't just resolve tickets — I focus on stability, performance, and long-term reliability.

From the War Room

NetWorker RCA War Story
💀 The Day 16TB Vanished — And Everyone Looked at Me
A banking client. 16TB of backup data gone — not failed, not corrupted, just missing. A tape that was never supposed to move, had moved. One wrong dropdown. 45 days of investigation. Here's how we found out what really happened.
Home Lab Windows Server Networking
🔐 My "Secure" Network Wasn't Actually Secure
I built a DMZ lab to prove I understood network isolation. The website loaded without NAT, without port forwarding, without any rules. That moment of confusion taught me more than six months of reading ever did.
Data Domain NetWorker Coming Soon
💣 The Day 1.7PB Disappeared — A Data Domain Misstep
A single decision — unmounting a Data Domain from a production NetWorker server and attaching it to a test environment — led to a catastrophic 1.7PB data loss. Here’s what actually happened, and why one wrong move can wipe out everything.
