What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for leadership and growth.

I am an enterprise network specialist with over 15 years of experience in designing and supporting complex infrastructures. My expertise lies in Cisco technologies, fiber optic deployments, and managing multi-vendor environments. I have a proven track record of leading full infrastructure lifecycles, from technical execution to strategic planning, and I am ITIL-certified, skilled in ServiceNow-based service delivery, and adept at cross-functional team leadership.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. For instance, while working at WELA Empowerment Holdings, I directed IT operations for multiple coastal labs and negotiated vendor contracts that reduced costs by 20%. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to maintain a 99.9% uptime for Cisco network infrastructures across remote sites, ensuring seamless operations for enterprise clients.
