What I'm looking for

I seek a permanent role where I can lead secure, compliant IT operations, modernize processes, and drive measurable improvements in governance and performance.

I am a results-driven Senior IT System Analyst with extensive experience leading enterprise IT initiatives across federal agencies, specializing in IT governance, cybersecurity, and identity and access management.

I have led teams of up to 16 administrators, managed classified and mission-critical systems, executed zero-downtime office relocations, and implemented data-driven reporting and monitoring using tools like Splunk to improve operational decision-making.

I am committed to modernizing IT processes, strengthening compliance, and delivering reliable, secure IT services through governance frameworks, workflow automation, and hands-on leadership.
