I am an IT Director optimizing healthcare infrastructure, security, and cloud operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented IT Director with 13+ years leading enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT operations across multi-site, compliance-driven healthcare environments. I align IT strategy with business growth and drive platform modernization.
At Dermatology Medical Partners, I led IT and cybersecurity strategy for 300+ users across 25 clinics, modernized legacy platforms during eight acquisitions, and built resilient cloud architecture on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 that reduced downtime to <0.1%. I reduced vulnerabilities by 30% implementing a NIST-CSF-aligned cybersecurity framework and cut IT operating costs 15% through contract renegotiation and vendor optimization.
A former U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman and EMT, I bring cross-functional healthcare insight, a commitment to compliance, and hands-on team leadership. I am pursuing an MBA in IT management and am a CISSP candidate to further strengthen my cybersecurity expertise.
