Faiad Iftikhar Rafee | Linux System Administrator

👋 About Me

I'm an experienced IT Engineer with a strong background in Linux system administration, virtualization, and cloud platforms. I focus on building secure and high-availability systems in Tier III and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 environments. My work includes deploying and managing infrastructure on AWS, VMware, Nutanix AHV, and the national eGovCloud platform.

Over the years, I’ve handled system automation using Ansible, implemented OS hardening, and developed scripts that improved security and efficiency across large-scale government systems. I enjoy solving infrastructure challenges and making complex systems simple, stable, and scalable.
