What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles modernizing infrastructure through automation and performance engineering, driving cost savings, mentoring teams, and partnering with vendors to deliver measurable operational improvements.

I am a strategic, hands-on IT infrastructure leader with deep experience driving end-user computing, infrastructure modernization, automation, and performance optimization across banking and enterprise environments. I have led multi-year VDI strategies and managed multimillion-dollar budgets, delivering measurable cost savings and technical debt reduction.

I mentor teams, manage vendors and deliver CTO-level KPI reporting to align operations with business goals. My work reduced incident volume by 75%, cut technical debt by 60%, and saved $1.2M through VDI deployment while leading global Citrix and enterprise monitoring initiatives.
