## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead IT or QA initiatives where I can coordinate multidisciplinary teams, improve delivery practices, manage stakeholders and risks, and deliver high-quality products.
```

## About

```text
I've led IT and QA projects at Perficient, coordinating teams, testing strategies, automation, functional testing, and quality assurance for SEON - Safe Fleet.

I planned, executed, and monitored multidisciplinary projects, managing resources, schedules, budgets, deliverables, risks, and stakeholder communication for internal Perficient initiatives.

As a business analyst and PMO project leader, I translated business requirements into functional specifications and established project methodologies for clients including Mutual Ser, DNP, Microsoft, Sanitas, Ecopetrol, and Banco de Bogotá.

I began in software quality, testing, and documentation, building experience across Oil & Gas, healthcare, banking, transportation, and public-sector projects. I'm an Electronic Engineer with a specialization in Project Direction and Management, and I work with agile methodologies, Jira, Azure DevOps, SQL, and QA tools.
