Summary
André Walia is an RHCSA-certified systems administrator and IT technician with eight years of practical experience designing and operating secure, highly available infrastructure across Linux, VMware, and AWS environments. He combines hands-on automation skills in Ansible, Python, and Bash with networking and security know-how—pfSense, VLAN segmentation, and firewall rule design—to manage production workloads and reduce operational risk. His background in Java, C, and C++ informs a methodical approach to performance-sensitive problems and systems-level thinking. André has supported small-business environments end-to-end, from Active Directory and virtualization to backup and disaster recovery, and has a track record of accelerating platform modernization and reducing update cycles. Based in Boynton Beach, FL, he is seeking challenging roles in Systems Administration or Cloud Engineering where he can apply both automation and low-level development experience. An uncommon strength is his blend of classroom teaching and client support, which sharpens his ability to explain complex technical solutions to nontechnical stakeholders.
