What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for leadership and innovation in IT project management, preferably in a remote or hybrid environment.

With over 17 years of experience in software and infrastructure projects, I have honed my skills as an IT Manager and Senior Project Manager. My journey has taken me through multinational companies like Accenture and Johnson Controls, where I successfully managed projects with budgets exceeding $3 million. My expertise lies in controlling data centers and overseeing software implementations, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget.

In addition to my managerial roles, I have a strong technical background as a software developer, which allows me to bridge the gap between technical teams and project stakeholders. I have taught software development and project management methodologies at universities, sharing my knowledge and passion for the industry. My ability to lead diverse teams across various geographical locations has been instrumental in achieving project goals and driving successful outcomes.
