About

IT professional with over 15 years of experience in application support, system administration, and technical client services within highly regulated environments, including healthcare diagnostics and financial services platforms. I specialize in delivering exceptional operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder satisfaction through expert escalated issue resolution, root-cause analysis, configuration management, user training, knowledge-base development, cross-functional collaboration, and disciplined SLA adherence. As Core Systems Administrator at Mission National Bank (September 2022 – November 2025), I serve as the primary administrator for the Fiserv Premier core banking platform and its full suite of integrated ancillary systems, including Integrated Teller, Premier Navigator, Business Process Manager, Intelligent Workplace/Prologue, Ebanking, DEPCON, MoveIt WireExchange, and FCRM. I manage end-to-end daily operations, user access controls, security roles, and comprehensive regulatory compliance. Acting as the central liaison with Fiserv and FIS Global vendors and coordinate monthly executive meetings, orchestrate implementations, upgrades, patches, and rapid issue resolution while minimizing operational disruption. Through meticulous root-cause analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and disciplined project management utilizing ServiceNow and Client360, I have achieved and sustained 99.99% system uptime, zero unplanned outages across more than 20 deployments, and 100% SLA compliance. Implement enterprise-wide security best practices across all managed operating systems, oversee identity and access management, business continuity, and disaster recovery processes—consistently delivering RTO under 4 hours and RPO under 15 minutes with regular testing and documentation. I also manage Microsoft Defender email threat detection and quarantine, analyze phishing, spam, and business email compromise attempts, verify legitimacy with end users, and release safe messages while maintaining strict data privacy compliance. Additionally, I provide technical support and training to non-technical staff across departments, develop and maintain knowledge-base resources that have significantly increased system adoption, and reduced recurring support incidents. I actively contribute to IT strategic planning by assessing network and system requirements, recommending efficiency improvements, and partnering with leadership to advance organizational goals in a highly regulated banking environment.
