What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead complex IT, cybersecurity, or infrastructure initiatives where I can strengthen project governance, align cross-functional stakeholders, manage risk, and improve delivery outcomes.

I've delivered IT, cybersecurity, and infrastructure projects for Horizon River Technologies, the Georgia Department of Corrections, Fiserv, FIS, and Kemba Financial Credit Union. My work has supported system upgrades, compliance initiatives, and technology refreshes impacting more than 50,000 users across 80 facilities.

I manage project plans, budgets, resources, risks, governance, and stakeholder communications across Agile and Waterfall delivery. I'm a Certified ScrumMaster who has strengthened PMO processes, coordinated cross-functional teams, and driven remediation, cloud, infrastructure, and regulatory initiatives through completion.
