What I'm looking for

I seek senior IT infrastructure roles leading cloud migrations, resilience and operations improvements, with room to manage teams, vendors, and measurable SLAs.

I am a Senior IT Infrastructure Consultant with over two decades of experience managing servers, data centers, cloud migrations and IT operations for top-tier organizations in Peru. I specialize in project leadership, infrastructure optimization, and implementing monitoring, backup and disaster recovery solutions.

Throughout my career I have led large migrations and platform projects for major insurers, hospitals and service providers, supervising cross-functional teams and vendors to improve service levels and operational resilience. Notable achievements include a seamless data center relocation, implementing SLAs and ticketing that raised customer satisfaction to 92%, and managing cloud/server migrations for enterprise clients.

I hold certifications in Azure Fundamentals, Scrum Foundation and remote collaboration, and I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to improving IT availability, security and cost-effectiveness while developing clear KPIs and processes that scale with the organization.
