What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and aligns IT with business goals.

With over 22 years of experience in technology, I specialize in managing and implementing strategic projects across various sectors, including government, telecommunications, banking, and industry. My expertise lies in solution architecture, functional analysis, team and vendor management, and leading digital transformation initiatives. I am passionate about leveraging technology as a sustainable competitive advantage by aligning IT with business objectives and fostering innovation.

In my current role as a Software Architect at Infatlan, I lead the design and validation of technology integration solutions for banking, ensuring alignment with product strategy and functional requirements. I manage projects, risks, and vendors, facilitating communication between technical and business teams to ensure effective collaboration. My previous roles as Project Director and Project Manager at BIDSS TECHNOLOGY have honed my skills in managing strategic project portfolios and leading teams to achieve autonomy and professional growth.

Beyond my professional life, I value time spent with family and friends, connecting with nature, and nurturing relationships built on sincerity and mutual respect. I believe in maintaining a balance between work and personal life, engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
