@sophianajouaou
I am an IT Project Lead combining IT and business expertise to optimize services.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated IT professional with a combined background in information & communications technologies and advanced business management. I hold a Master in IT Management and a post-bachelor in Advanced Business Management (International Management).
At Atrias (via Exellys) I worked as Junior IT Project Lead and fulfilled roles as Change & Release Manager, Business Analyst and Team Lead Service Desk & Service Management Operator. I led change and release flows, communicated releases to stakeholders, and optimized processes using PowerBI and TOPdesk.
During my internship at Pension Architects I optimized database infrastructure using Linux, MySQL, Java and Amazon Web Services (RDS, S3, EC2, VPC). I implemented a virtual private cloud and improved security and performance across the environment.
I also worked as a Junior Consultant on a scalable re-use project, gaining experience in planning, budgeting, stakeholder, issue and risk management. I am an analytical, dedicated team player who seeks roles that connect business and IT and deliver measurable improvements.
