What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technology leadership role where I can lead product and security initiatives, drive digital transformation, mentor teams, and deliver measurable operational and revenue improvements in a growth-oriented, collaborative company.

I am a technology leader with extensive experience building and operating secure, enterprise-grade IT systems and products. I have served in executive and senior operational roles—including Chief Technology Officer, Product Owner, and Chief Operating Officer—leading product roadmaps, agile teams, and cross-functional delivery to drive business outcomes across finance, hospitality, and managed identity services.

I bring strong hands-on technical skills in network and server infrastructure, virtualization, security, and payments, backed by multiple industry certifications. I enjoy solving complex problems, implementing ERP and payment systems, and mentoring teams to improve efficiency, reliability, and revenue performance.
