About Me

I am a dedicated IT Infrastructure & Security Engineer with progressive experience spanning Systems Administration, IT Engineering, and technical leadership roles. Throughout my career in enterprise environments, MSP consulting, and startup settings, I have specialized in designing secure, automated IT infrastructures.

My expertise encompasses comprehensive endpoint management through MDM platforms (Jamf, Mosyle, Microsoft Intune, Kandji), identity and access management optimization using Okta and Active Directory, and enterprise SaaS administration. I have successfully implemented zero-trust security models and streamlined IT operations through infrastructure-as-code practices.

I have consistently delivered measurable results: reducing manual IT interventions by 50% through automation scripts, decreasing unauthorized access incidents by 30% via IAM system overhauls, and improving team collaboration efficiency by 40% through optimized SaaS tool management.

Hear from the professionals I've worked with about the impact of our collaborations

leadership
"During my tenure as Director of IT at VaynerX, I had the privilege of working closely with Kelwin on numerous critical IT infrastructure projects. I consistently provided Kelwin with opportunities to showcase his expertise in improving our IT processes, replacing legacy systems with modern solutions, and creating innovative integrations that streamlined our operations. His technical expertise and leadership capabilities consistently impressed me, particularly his ability to drive complex initiatives independently while maintaining exceptional team collaboration. Whether it was overhauling our existing IT systems or developing custom integrations from scratch, Kelwin demonstrated strategic thinking and a hands-on approach to problem-solving that made him an invaluable asset to our organization. What truly set Kelwin apart was his ability to work autonomously on high-impact projects while remaining a collaborative and valuable team member. His contributions to process improvements, system modernization, and integration development directly resulted in significant operational improvements and cost savings across our IT operations. Kelwin proved time and again that he could be trusted with complex technical challenges and would deliver exceptional results."

mentorship
"Working with Kelwin at VaynerX from Day 1 was truly exceptional, and I had the privilege of mentoring him as he quickly evolved into one of our most valuable IT professionals. His deep knowledge of enterprise IT systems, particularly with Mosyle, Intune, and Google Workspace, helped streamline our entire device management process across multiple time zones, including proactive support for our EMEA operations. What impressed me most was his ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable solutions that the entire team could understand and implement. Kelwin consistently sought opportunities to improve our IT processes and wasn't afraid to tackle legacy system replacements. He led our critical migration from Freshdesk to Atlassian Service Management, which significantly enhanced our onboarding and offboarding processes by seamlessly integrating the HR system with our ticketing system - a project that involved over 800+ devices with zero downtime. Beyond his technical expertise in automation and scripting, Kelwin demonstrated remarkable independence while remaining a collaborative team player. He created custom integrations for our freelancer workflows and provided comprehensive documentation that enabled our team to maintain complex processes autonomously. His willingness to work across different time zones, mentor junior team members, and provide detailed problem-solving methodologies made him not just a colleague, but a trusted advisor who elevated everyone's performance. Watching Kelwin grow from his first day into a strategic technical leader who could handle high-pressure situations while maintaining the highest standards of service delivery has been one of my proudest mentoring experiences."

His ability to translate technical solutions into clear, actionable guidance while working across different time zones demonstrated both his technical expertise and exceptional communication skills. Kelwin's willingness to go above and beyond, combined with his deep understanding of automation and system integration, made him an invaluable asset to our global operations.

mentorship
"On my first day at VaynerX, Kelwin was the first to mentor me regarding our ticketing system. Coming from the Apple Store into my first corporate IT role, I was nervous about the transition, but Kelwin immediately provided comprehensive documentation and hands-on instruction on our MDM systems including Mosyle and Intune. What made Kelwin an exceptional mentor was his ability to break down complex technical processes into manageable steps. He guided me through handling various requests - from simple password resets to complex system integrations - teaching me effective approaches for both in-person and remote support scenarios. Throughout my time working with him, Kelwin consistently offered valuable guidance and shared practical tips on working effectively and proactively. He taught me to anticipate user needs, automate routine tasks, and think about the bigger picture when solving problems. His patient mentoring approach and willingness to share his expertise in scripting and automation helped me grow from entry-level support into a confident IT professional. Kelwin proved to be an excellent mentor during my transition into corporate IT. His technical depth and genuine investment in others' success made him a trusted guide who shaped my approach to IT support."

"Working with Kelwin on SaaS platform configurations, particularly Mosyle and Atlassian, has been exceptional. His expertise in automating complex workflows while ensuring proper escalation processes significantly improved our team's response times by over 40%.

Beyond technical execution, Kelwin served as an invaluable mentor, particularly with SaaS platforms like Okta, where he guided our team through identity and access management best practices and advanced configuration techniques. His ability to streamline these platforms eliminated manual interventions that were previously impacting team productivity by 50%.
