About

I’m a Senior IT Project Manager who enjoys taking complex challenges across a wide range of sectors and tools (SAP, oracle, Industry, Government) and turning them into smooth, structured delivery. Over the past years, I’ve led large‑scale implementations, modernized operations and outdated technology, and guided cross‑functional teams through both Agile and Waterfall projects. I’m known for keeping things calm, collaborative, and on‑track—even during high‑pressure, zero‑downtime cutovers. At my core, I love working together as a team to ensure that the IT systems are optimized to suit the business needs.
