Muhammad Rizwan Wali

I am Systems and Network Administrator with deep technical expertise in managing secure IT infrastructure, virtualization platforms, and multi-vendor routing environments. I specialize in designing and deploying secure network segments (VLANs), configuring robust firewalls, and engineering hybrid on-premises and cloud-based backup solutions (Azure/AWS/GCP). My day-to-day work focuses on maximizing system uptime, automating network administration tasks, and bridging the gap between hardware architecture and organizational efficiency. I have over 19 years of dedicated working experience in the IT infrastructure and network support sector, moving up from technical support and software coordination roles to heading IT departments and leading engineering teams. At the Afzaal Memorial Thalassemia Foundation, I successfully consolidated our physical server footprint by 40% by architecting a highly available virtual architecture utilizing VMware ESXi and Hyper-V. Simultaneously, I deployed automated off-premises hybrid cloud backup strategies that ensured zero data loss for critical organizational workflows. As Team Lead IT at KIND-R, I successfully spearheaded the end-to-end structural deployment and secure testing loops of a massive Hospital Management Information System (HMIS). This was accomplished alongside managing a comprehensive network overhaul using layer-2/3 managed switches and custom MikroTik routing configurations to maintain a strict 99.9% operational uptime. I am actively targeting fully remote positions as a Systems Administrator, Tier 2/3 Technical Support Engineer, or Network Engineer. I am looking for a role within an international or distributed team where I can leverage my advanced troubleshooting, system diagnostics, and infrastructure optimization skills. I am fully prepared to manage tickets, write technical documentation, and handle complex technical infrastructure.
