What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT/security leadership role where I can improve security posture, lead infrastructure and cloud transformations, implement governance, and deliver resilient operations in mission-critical environments.

I am an IT leader with deep hands-on experience securing and operating complex infrastructure in critical environments, including ports and logistics, datacenter migrations, and enterprise Microsoft/Azure ecosystems.

I have led information security program design and implementation aligned to ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, and COBIT, established governance, hardening, incident response, backup and change management processes, and managed virtualization, clustering and high-availability architectures.

I deliver practical, auditable controls and projects — from Microsoft 365/Azure migrations and Intune deployments to PAM, ITSM (SMAX) automation, and vendor/SLA management — focused on operational continuity and measurable security improvements.
