During this time, I acquired the valuable skill of dissecting problems from a high-level to a low-level approach and meticulously documenting my findings to ensure ease of understanding for future teams.

What I'm mostly proud of about this experience is the opportunity to work on automating processes that used to take me a significant amount of time back when I started as a sys admin, such as creating image templates. I had the privilege to collaborate with a senior colleague who taught me not to let any barrier stop me when it comes to IT automation. Moreover, I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to undertake this project for a company like Aruba.

Some of the Consulting Projects I've done

Building a Citrix Infrastructure for Samsung DeX Devices:
I worked on a project in collaboration with Samsung Italy, where I spearheaded the creation of an infrastructure from the ground up. The main objective was to establish a robust cluster comprising three nodes, configured for high availability and virtualized using Proxmox CE.
Subsequently, I orchestrated the setup of an environment powered by the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service. This environment was tailored to deliver Windows Server desktop virtual desktops, optimized specifically for Samsung DeX devices.
Samsung DeX is a docking station designed for Galaxy smartphones, transforming them into desktop workstations. By integrating the Citrix app and Cisco Jabber, we seamlessly delivered fully functional work environments directly to users' smartphones.

Establishing Network Monitoring Services for Credit Agricole:
I led a project for Credit Agricole focused on implementing comprehensive network monitoring solutions across their various facilities and branches. Collaborating with a small team of two, we leveraged Zabbix to construct a robust infrastructure tailored for SNMP monitoring.
Our approach involved automating device registration using Python scripting. By developing a script capable of dynamically collecting device IPs and automatically registering them within the Zabbix platform, we streamlined the onboarding process significantly.
Furthermore, we meticulously fine-tuned the configuration of items and triggers to ensure the delivery of a fully functional dashboard. This dashboard provided real-time insights and alerts, empowering Credit Agricole to maintain optimal network performance and security across their operations.

Implementing Microsoft MDT Infrastructure for Hospital University of Trieste:
Executed the setup of a Microsoft MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) infrastructure at the Hospital University of Trieste. This initiative aimed to provide the hospital's IT team with a centralized platform for creating and deploying standardized operating system images. Through this setup, the team gained the capability to prepare Microsoft golden images tailored to the hospital's specific needs.
By harnessing PXE boot functionality, the deployment process was streamlined, allowing for the seamless installation of prepared images onto workstations. This not only enhanced operational efficiency but also ensured consistency and reliability across the hospital's workstation environment.

Establishing and Maintaining a Comprehensive Lab Environment:
I constructed and maintained a comprehensive laboratory environment, encompassing hardware, storage, and virtualization components. Utilizing VMware vCenter and ESXi, the setup provided a robust platform for conducting tests, research, and development activities.
This environment served as a dynamic workspace for exploring new technologies, testing software configurations, and conducting research initiatives. By leveraging virtualization capabilities, we optimized resource utilization and flexibility, enabling seamless experimentation and innovation within the lab.
