What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead incident, change, and service-management work where I can improve operational resilience, secure technology delivery, service continuity, and collaboration across technical and business teams.

At Yum! Brands, I manage P1–P3 incidents across global technology platforms supporting Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Habit, leading bridge calls through mitigation, restoration, and business communication.

Previously at Zenus Bank, I coordinated complex IT incident resolution, governed end-to-end change management, led CAB ceremonies, and supported business continuity, disaster recovery, and security incident response. I use Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Datadog, AWS, Azure, SQL, and Scrum practices to improve service reliability and controlled delivery.

My background also includes leading production application development and service desk teams at EPIK, supporting consumer-lending and core-banking applications across Colombia and Central America.
