What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my IT expertise while contributing to innovative projects and fostering team collaboration.

I am an energized IT professional with over 10 years of experience in providing turnaround management, performance improvement, and corporate advisory services. My journey in the IT industry has equipped me with a robust skill set in IT operations, solution architecture, assessment, strategy, and development. I have a proven track record of leading the evaluation, selection, and implementation of new information systems technologies, ensuring that projects align with organizational goals.

In my role as an IT Project Manager at MICT Computers, I successfully planned, executed, and oversaw multiple IT projects, ensuring they were completed on time and within budget. My responsibilities included project planning, execution, and acting as a liaison between business and technical aspects of projects. Currently, as an IT Support Specialist, I troubleshoot and resolve technical issues while providing hardware and software support to ensure smooth IT operations. Additionally, I serve as an IT Instructor, teaching various IT-related subjects and preparing students for the ever-evolving technology landscape.
