What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise infrastructure and cybersecurity, align architecture to business goals, optimize cloud costs, and deliver NIST/ITIL-driven operations with strong identity, monitoring, and compliance.

I’m a Strategic IT Leader and IT Senior Manager with 15+ years directing global infrastructure and cybersecurity, aligning enterprise architecture with business objectives. I’ve institutionalized NIST/ITIL frameworks, standardized security controls, and scaled operations with measurable improvements, including saving tens of thousands of dollars through reporting tools for cloud and on-prem cost visibility.

I lead multi-site teams across infrastructure, application, and helpdesk management, overseeing AWS/Azure/GCP environments and global licensing. I’ve deployed centralized SIEM/monitoring, implemented OKTA for identity lifecycle management, strengthened compliance documentation (BC/DR and information security policies), and even spearheaded a first secure internal AI tool using AWS Bedrock and React with strict data privacy.
