Senior IT Project Manager building governance for enterprise tech delivery across Agile and hybrid teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I lead governance and delivery for enterprise initiatives across systems integration, infrastructure, security, and applications—translating risk, scope, and budget into executive-relevant recommendations.
At American Airlines, I’ve directed steering committees and sponsor touchpoints, managed vendor relationships and statements of work, and built structured project controls to improve predictability and operational stability.
In Enterprise Customer Data, I managed governance for an event-driven architecture distributing data to 20+ downstream applications, and I led an Agile transformation that improved delivery speed by 40%. I also oversaw a DevOps adoption with CI/CD pipelines and security/compliance checks, and supported early machine-learning-based alerting rollouts.
From AA.com releases through full SDLC delivery, I’ve coordinated cross-functional teams and protected production risk, using portfolio reporting, risk logs, and post-implementation stabilization practices to guide projects from intake to implementation.
