What I Do

IT Operations

I lead enterprise IT transformations by aligning applications, infrastructure, and operations with business goals. From CRM and HCM migrations to Atlassian and IAM implementations, I build secure, compliant, and scalable systems that enhance collaboration, resilience, and user experience.

Innovation & Automation

I drive automation across development and production environments, from provisioning compliant workstations to optimizing version control systems. By mentoring teams and embedding best practices in CI/CD, monitoring, and infrastructure management, I enable scalable, secure, and efficient delivery.

Systems Architecture

Design and manage cloud-native, containerized infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes. Standardizing deployments with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), streamlining operations, and ensuring disaster recovery, governance, and compliance frameworks are embedded at every layer.

Data & Security

Architect secure data pipelines and warehouses that deliver real-time insights while safeguarding sensitive information. As a consultant and security lead, I’ve implemented APIs, automated workflows, and enforced security SOPs — reducing risks, meeting compliance, and strengthening enterprise trust.
