Senior project scheduler specializing in large-scale IT and infrastructure programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a value-driven senior project scheduler with deep experience managing large-scale IT and infrastructure programs across multiple industries. I combine expertise in Primavera and Microsoft Project with disciplined schedule and risk management to keep complex portfolios on time and within scope.
Over my career I have managed programs comprising dozens of projects and multi-billion dollar portfolios, served as a regional subject-matter expert in scheduling tools, and led schedule development, resource leveling, and milestone synchronization across concurrent projects.
I excel at stakeholder communication, meeting facilitation, cost estimation, and maintaining rigorous WBS and baseline controls. I have a track record of improving planning processes, conducting what-if analyses, and implementing contingency plans that reduce schedule risk.
I seek opportunities where I can apply Lean and Agile approaches alongside traditional waterfall planning to drive predictable delivery, mentor teams in scheduling best practices, and support organizations through cloud migrations and infrastructure transformations.
