What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead luxury brand strategy and build secure, high-performing digital experiences—where creative direction, AI automation, and cybersecurity best practices combine. I want cross-functional ownership, clear impact metrics, and room to scale premium client outcomes.

I’m a dynamic, multilingual IT professional and elite branding specialist with over 6 years of versatile experience across Web Development, Graphic Design, Technical Support, and Executive Operations. I translate sophisticated brand visions into luxury digital assets, combining advanced graphic suites with modern engineering ecosystems to create premium market presence.

As Founder & Senior Creative Director at Core Programming (Magic Design Crew), I established and scaled a premium branding and AI automation cybersecurity & infrastructure agency focused on high-end, luxury aesthetics and operational optimization. I spearhead brand strategy and direct the creation of comprehensive design identities, high-fidelity OSINT mockups, and client-ready technical frameworks—integrating secure systems architecture to redefine how brands communicate.

Previously, I engineered mission-critical web applications and ensured optimized performance, safety protocol compliance, and seamless UX/UI. With COMPTIA Security+ and ITIL Foundation, I also support threat analysis, penetration testing, incident triage, and global IT service management practices—partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver ahead of schedule.
