What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud infrastructure roles where I can lead Azure governance, secure scalable systems, drive migrations, and mentor teams within mission-driven financial organisations.

I am a seasoned IT professional with nearly 16 years of experience in system analysis, administration, and cloud infrastructure management, primarily focused on Microsoft Azure and financial services.

I led major core banking migrations and implementations that reduced operational costs by 30% and increased service reach by 25%, and I have extensive regional experience supporting banks across Latin America and Africa.

My technical strengths include Azure governance, security, AVD, automation with PowerShell and Azure DevOps, database performance tuning, and cloud disaster recovery planning, complemented by hands-on experience with core banking systems and financial application configuration.

I bring a proactive leadership style, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a commitment to modernising infrastructure, improving service delivery, and achieving measurable digital transformation outcomes.
