Yazleen Yazid
@yazleenyazid
Senior Technical Program Manager modernizing cloud and AI operations with cross-functional delivery discipline.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Program Manager and cross-functional bridge with 30+ years of continuous experience delivering complex infrastructure, high-stakes international deployments, and AI-driven automation. I lead by outcomes—coordinating teams and translating requirements—without needing to be the primary engineer.
At The Saddle Resort, I orchestrated a full-lifecycle migration of a 9-acre campus network, replacing legacy systems with a secured, multi-zone SDN architecture (VLAN, PoE, IP surveillance, CCTV/NVR). I maintained 100% remote management availability across 18 operational units and managed a 13-unit IP-surveillance fleet with zero unplanned downtime.
I’m building for the cloud and AI era—completing AWS Cloud Practitioner training and developing a live multi-node Proxmox + AI agent lab. I direct n8n-powered diagnostic workflows for real-time infrastructure health, building toward self-healing operations.
My edge blends delivery discipline with financial governance: MSc Financial Management, £1M+ budgets, and £3M co-securing, supported by a FinOps mindset. I’m targeting senior remote roles in Technical Program Management, Delivery Management, Technical Account Management, or IT Operations where cross-functional coordination and delivery reliability matter.
