IT operations and end-user services leader delivering secure, high-availability support for mission-critical hospitality and enterprise systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT operations and end-user services leader with 15+ years of progressive experience across luxury hospitality, gaming, education, enterprise technology, and consulting environments. I lead high-visibility support operations, executive escalations, and business-critical go-lives, focused on operational readiness and secure, reliable service delivery.
At Wynn Las Vegas, I led a 14-person End User Services team supporting Wynn and Encore across a complex multi-property environment. I directed IT staffing and technical setup for 400+ annual events, executed planning and go-live for 15+ new venues and expansions, and supported enterprise identity and infrastructure including Active Directory, Group Policy, Entra ID, Okta, Azure services, and endpoint security.
Beyond core operations, I’ve supported high-availability hospitality and gaming applications (including Oracle OPERA PMS and Symphony POS) through incident response, troubleshooting, and production documentation. I also bring a creative edge from my AI-assisted storytelling work at DesignVibe, and I continue strengthening my foundation with security training and CompTIA Security+.
