What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive IT strategy, optimize infrastructure, strengthen security, and deliver projects that improve business outcomes and user experience.

I am an IT leader with a proven record of improving infrastructure, security, and operational efficiency to deliver measurable business value. I specialize in translating complex technical challenges into simple, actionable solutions that support growth and resilience.

At Equity Health Insurance I led system integrations, introduced business continuity and disaster recovery plans, implemented asset lifecycle management, and reduced cloud costs through consolidation—while launching customer-focused digital products that increased sign-ups and improved retention.

Earlier roles in database and server administration and systems support sharpened my skills in virtualization, backup and recovery, network monitoring, and user training. I combine technical depth with clear communication and project leadership to ensure technology drives transformation.
