What I'm looking for

I want a remote role (visa sponsorship) focused on platform ownership, application support, or AI-assisted tooling where I can drive cloud migrations, automation, and governance while leading cross-functional teams.

I am a Service Owner and Technical Platform Lead with 17+ years of experience managing enterprise application lifecycles, cloud migrations, and SOX 404 governance within regulated environments. I combine deep platform ownership with modern cloud, automation, and AI-assisted tooling to deliver reliable, auditable systems.

I've led migrations (Navision to Microsoft Business Central), Atlassian cloud projects, and ServiceNow automation improvements while managing engineers and vendors across platforms like GitLab, TestRail, Perforce, AuditBoard, Cognos, and Zoho. I design SOPs, documentation frameworks, access governance, and SOX-ready processes that reduce manual work and improve operational resilience.

I build and ship products through my independent studio (Greenberries), delivering full-stack SaaS solutions and agentic AI automation projects using React, TypeScript, Supabase, Docker, Playwright, and Claude-based AI workflows. I seek remote roles with visa sponsorship in application support, platform ownership, technical account management, or AI-assisted tooling.
