What I'm looking for

After pursuing an entrepreneurial/business venture, I’m fully committed to returning to the IT industry and seeking a long-term Senior Release Manager or Release Manager opportunity.

At GalaxE Solutions, supporting OptumRX, I managed Azure cloud applications and IBM WebSphere Application Servers across multiple environments. I coordinated monthly deployments with zero downtime and maintained release documentation.

I also led an Active Directory to Azure Active Directory migration and implemented SSL certification processes. I managed Dynatrace monitoring for servers and applications, supporting 99.99% availability.

Earlier, I administered Lotus Domino environments for enterprise clients, supporting infrastructure, applications, and service continuity. After pursuing an entrepreneurial/business venture, I’m now fully committed to returning to the IT industry for a long-term Senior Release Manager or Release Manager opportunity.
