Professional Experience:

IT-Admin & Service Delivery Professional with 8+ years of experience managing IT operations, infrastructure support, vendor coordination, compliance documentation, and administrative functions across multiple countries. Strong background in Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace administration, IT asset lifecycle management, statutory compliance coordination, insurance renewals, and facility oversight. Proven ability to support both technical and non-technical teams with a solution-oriented and service-focused approach. Experience working in social sector environments with strong stakeholder coordination skills.

Education:

I completed my Master of Computer Applications (MCA) in 2021, which strengthened my advanced knowledge in computer science, enterprise systems, database management, networking, and IT infrastructure. This postgraduate program enhanced my analytical thinking, system design capabilities, and understanding of enterprise-level IT operations. It helped me develop a strategic approach toward managing IT environments, aligning technology with organizational objectives, and supporting secure, scalable infrastructure.

Before my MCA, I earned my Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) in 2017. During my undergraduate studies, I built a strong foundation in programming, operating systems, networking fundamentals, database management, and system administration. The BCA program played a crucial role in shaping my technical mindset and practical troubleshooting abilities. It provided me with the core knowledge required to begin my professional journey in IT support and infrastructure management.

I completed my 10+2 (CBSE Board) in 2014.

To enhance my technical expertise and stay aligned with industry standards, I have earned several professional certifications. I achieved the Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) certification, which validates my ability to manage Azure identities, governance, storage solutions, virtual networks, and compute resources in cloud environments. This certification strengthened my understanding of hybrid infrastructure, cloud security, access management, and operational governance, enabling me to support modern digital workplace environments effectively.

I also earned the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) certification from Network Bulls, Gurugram. This globally recognised certification enhanced my expertise in networking fundamentals, IP connectivity, routing and switching, VLAN configuration, subnetting, firewall basics, and network troubleshooting. It significantly improved my hands-on knowledge of enterprise networking and strengthened my ability to manage and secure IT infrastructure.
Additionally, I completed an Advanced Diploma in Computer Applications (ADCA) from the Arth Institute, New Delhi. This program helped me build early-stage technical confidence by strengthening my knowledge of computer systems, office automation tools, and core application management.

Through a combination of formal education and industry-recognised certifications, I have developed a strong technical and theoretical foundation that supports my professional experience in IT administration, service delivery, infrastructure management, and compliance coordination. I strongly believe in continuous learning and consistently upgrading
