What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Project Manager role leading enterprise ICT, cloud modernization, and data center migrations—driving Agile delivery, managing RAID risks and dependencies, and aligning stakeholders to ensure secure, on-time releases with clear executive visibility.

I’m a Project Manager with 8+ years of experience delivering enterprise ICT programs across banking, finance, and real estate. I lead end-to-end delivery—from initiation through deployment and transition—while coordinating Infrastructure, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Architecture, QA, DevOps, and business teams.

My most visible work includes delivering a multi-region Deutsche Bank data center migration with no business disruption (2021–2024). I’ve managed global ICT infrastructure and cloud migration programs involving 220+ enterprise servers and databases, aligning migration plans, release schedules, implementation roadmaps, and rollback strategies. I’ve also delivered 4+ concurrent ICT projects across USA, UK, Germany, Japan, and India while completing migrations with zero critical production data loss.

I’m recognized for execution excellence, including two awards for data center infrastructure projects (2022 & 2023) and a Best Employee Award in 2019 for implementing an app that achieved 200% business growth. Clients consistently praise my seamless delivery and stakeholder communication, especially across cross-border teams.

I bring deep technical and delivery expertise across IT infrastructure, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and AI/ML transformation initiatives. I use Agile ceremonies and delivery tooling like Jira and Azure DevOps to improve predictability, visibility, and risk control—so releases land smoothly, securely, and on time.
