Thrive CDS — Systems Administrator

Miami, FL | Jul 2023 – Jul 2025

 

Owned Azure tenant operations for a debt relief platform that handled sensitive client PII. Built and maintained user accounts, identity policies, and role-based access so access stayed least-privilege and auditable.

Managed Windows and Linux servers in both cloud and on-prem VMware. Handled patching, backups, monitoring, and recovery.

Built and maintained virtual networks, subnets, DNS, routing rules, and firewall policies to isolate customer data and internal tools.

Wrote Python scripts to automate account provisioning, permission changes, password resets, and routine system checks. Cut manual helpdesk work and reduced access mistakes.

Supported custom backend services (internal CRM, call center stack, debt negotiation tooling). Kept the stack online and compliant with data handling rules.

Documented and enforced operational processes for outbound client contact like SMS and ringless voicemail campaigns. Aligned infra, call center ops, and legal so customer outreach stayed controlled and traceable.

Drove incident response. Monitored uptime, investigated network and auth issues, and restored service with minimal downtime.

Standardized repeatable runbooks and checklists so other team members could execute tasks without guesswork.
