As a professional system engineer in IT I'm responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining complex systems that meet the needs of an organisation's technological infrastructure. My main role is to ensure that all the components of the system work together seamlessly, and that the system performs optimally.

My job involves a wide range of activities, including but not limited to:

System Design: I'm responsible for the design of the system, which includes defining the requirements, selecting the appropriate resource that are the hardware and software, and designing the network architecture. I also need to make sure that the system design meets the organisation's goals, is scalable, and meets security requirements.

System Implementation: I am responsible for implementing the system. This involves installing, configuring, and testing hardware and software components, integrating them into the network, and ensuring that the system is fully operational.

System Maintenance: I am also tasked for maintaining the system to ensure its optimal performance. This includes monitoring the system, troubleshooting issues, and upgrading the system when necessary. Using top of the line user-friendly up-to-date archetypal tools such as Ansible (Trademark'ed), MIT's confluence's OS Updates, Nessus, Nimsoft , Splunk and Veritas.     

Security: As a system engineer, I take ownership for ensuring that the system is secure. With a team of network, DBA and systems, we need to implement security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access control mechanisms to protect the system from unauthorised access.

Backup and Recovery: I ensure that the system has a robust backup and recovery plan in place. I need to ensure that the system data is backed up regularly and that there is a process in place to recover data in the event of a disaster. A periodical recovery activity is in place.

Documentation: I maintain detailed documentation, with Microsoft's sensitivity labels of the system's design, implementation, and maintenance. This documentation, oftenly using Microsoft's or Google's Workspace, is used to troubleshoot issues or activities, make upgrades, and train new staff.

Communication: I need to regularly communicate effectively, through WhatsApp, with other members of the IT team, as well as with end-users. I need to explain complex technical concepts in a way that is easy for non-technical users, apps system owners, and stakeholders to understand.

Overall, as a system engineer in IT I am a critical member of an organisation's IT team. My role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining complex systems that are critical to the organisation's success. I have a deep understanding of hardware and software components, as well as excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
