What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic company that values growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated IT professional with over 30 years of experience across various roles, including Project Manager, Business Analyst, and QA Analyst. My extensive background in system environments such as Unisys and IBM Mainframes has equipped me with the skills to manage complex projects effectively. I pride myself on my ability to adapt quickly, learn new processes, and deliver results in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led development teams, conducted requirement gathering sessions, and maintained project tracking systems. My experience includes overseeing project timelines, conducting audits, and preparing reports for senior management. I am passionate about ensuring that projects stay on track and meet the highest standards of quality.

As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to bring my expertise in project management and my commitment to excellence to a dynamic and energetic company. I thrive in environments that challenge me and allow for professional growth while contributing to the success of the organization.
