What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical role leading network, infrastructure, or security operations where I can drive resilience, mentor engineers, implement cloud/hybrid solutions, and align ICT strategy with business goals in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am a Senior ICT Infrastructure and Network Specialist with over eight years managing enterprise ICT systems, secure networks, and hybrid cloud platforms across multi-site and international environments.

I have led the design, deployment and operation of LAN/WAN, firewalls, SD-WAN, virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), Office 365/Azure AD, and SOC monitoring programs that delivered measurable improvements in uptime, security incidents, and costs.

I build and mentor high-performing engineering teams, drive ICT policy and compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR), and align technology strategy with business goals to improve resilience, efficiency, and service delivery.
