What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role managing enterprise infrastructure and cloud migrations where I can coach teams, improve processes, and deliver secure, resilient systems.

I am a Team Lead and Infrastructure Specialist with nearly twenty-five years of experience delivering infrastructure, operations and migration projects across public and private sectors.

I lead and coach third-level Microsoft infrastructure teams, drive Azure migrations and optimizations, and have delivered solutions for clients including Hydro-Québec and Montreal Airport (SAP S/4HANA platform upgrade).

My technical practice centers on Microsoft technologies, cloud (Azure, AWS), virtualization (VMware), automation (PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform) and security/monitoring (SAML/OAuth, SentinelOne, PRTG, CloudWatch).

I combine hands-on systems leadership with process improvement, Agile delivery and vendor coordination — backed by AWS, Microsoft Certified Azure, MCSE and CCNA certifications — to build resilient, secure, and supportable enterprise environments.
