What I'm looking for
With over 17 years of experience in the IT industry, I have honed my skills in technical support, systems management, and DevOps. My journey has taken me from managing technical support teams to establishing my own food manufacturing business, where I successfully scaled operations and developed market strategies. My entrepreneurial experience has equipped me with a unique perspective on business development and customer-focused solutions, driving growth and reliability.
At DHL IT Services, I served as a Senior Application Support Specialist, where I ensured maximum system availability and minimal disruption to business continuity. My role involved conducting service reviews, managing incidents according to ITIL best practices, and overseeing the deployment of critical applications. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality service and optimizing operations, which I believe are essential for any organization aiming for excellence.
