What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership IT role where I can drive cybersecurity, asset protection, AI-enabled solutions, vendor partnerships, and measurable cost and efficiency improvements within a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am an accomplished IT leader with 15+ years delivering IT support, network security, and systems optimization, driving measurable cost reductions and productivity gains such as $2.5M saved through AI-driven loss prevention and 15%+ cost reductions from proactive maintenance. I build and deploy custom tools and applications including a pharmacy ordering platform—that improved process efficiency and cost.

I lead and develop cross-functional teams, oversee vendor relationships, and implement lifecycle, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity strategies to protect data and maintain uptime. I seek to apply my expertise in asset protection solutions, PowerShell scripting, and strategic IT management to deliver operational resilience and scalable, AI-enabled solutions.
