I’m Syed Aqib, an IT professional with 5+ years of experience in ensuring the reliability and stability of enterprise IT systems. I specialize in Cross-Platform Administration, managing complex Linux and Windows Server 2019 environments. Throughout my career, I have worked on maintaining system uptime, resolving critical incidents, and supporting infrastructure operations. I enjoy deep-diving into technical issues to find root causes and ensuring that business applications run smoothly without downtime. My hands-on technical expertise spans Linux administration and Windows Server management (IIS, Patching). I also ensure data integrity through rigorous PostgreSQL and MySQL backup/restore procedures. Familiar with monitoring tools like Dynatrace and Grafana to track system performance and combine deep technical problem-solving with automation (Python, Shell Scripting, Ansible) to optimize workflows and minimize manual tasks. To validate and enhance my ability to secure these environments, I recently earned the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) credential. This has empowered me to bridge the gap between IT Operations and Security, focusing on vulnerability management, system hardening, and IAM policies to build resilient infrastructure. I am passionate about continuous learning and operational excellence, aiming to contribute to engineering teams that value security-driven infrastructure. I post majorly on LinkedIn
