What I'm looking for

I seek senior ICT leadership roles where I can lead digital transformation, optimize infrastructure and cybersecurity, establish PMO governance, and deliver large, mission‑critical programs within collaborative, growth‑oriented organizations.

I am a strategic ICT leader with 15+ years delivering multimillion‑dollar infrastructure, cybersecurity, telecom, and smart building projects across education, enterprise, and international sporting events. I combine PMP and PMI‑ACP certifications with hands‑on expertise in IT infrastructure design, cloud, ERP, compliance, and project governance to deliver mission‑critical systems on time and within budget.

I have led large teams and programs, established PMO frameworks that improved on‑time delivery to 94%, implemented ISO 27001 controls, and reduced audit flags by 60%. My background includes high‑availability architecture, SD‑WAN and fiber rollouts, large‑scale LMS and biometric deployments, and venue technology management for major international events.
