Summary

With 16 years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure, I specialize in architecting, implementing, and optimizing enterprise-grade solutions across on-premises and cloud environments. My core strengths lie in designing resilient infrastructure frameworks, leading cloud migration initiatives to Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and ensuring secure, scalable, and high-performing IT environments.

I bring deep expertise in virtualized infrastructure management (on-prem + cloud), Azure identity and access management, network architecture, backup strategies, and Exchange/Office 365 migrations. Over the years, I have successfully planned and executed global infrastructure transformation projects, aligning technical solutions with business goals while ensuring compliance, performance, and cost-efficiency.

With over 9 years of hands-on experience in data center operations and IT project delivery, I excel at bridging the gap between business and technology. I’m adept at gathering requirements, creating architectural roadmaps, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive end-to-end implementation. I am a self-motivated, detail-oriented professional with strong communication skills, capable of leading infrastructure initiatives from strategy to execution.
