About

Enterprise IT Systems Administrator and Global Infrastructure Owner with over 15 years of experience optimizing endpoint ecosystems, managing identity lifecycles, and driving technology strategy across high-growth international environments. Proven track record serving as an Enterprise Service Lead, managing cross-border M&A technical integrations, and leading cross-functional technical alignment across global regions. Proficient at leveraging advanced scripting, AI tools, and lifecycle automation to scale infrastructure operations, eliminate manual overhead, and ensure strict corporate SLA compliance. I also ensure to try to give back to the community by volunteering as a Tech Mentor at the San Jose Public library. I firmly believe that Internet access and computer literacy aren't a luxury, but a basic fundamental necessity. Volunteering in this manner lets me help unhoused individuals, people who just never learned computers due to various life circumstances, and yes: Seniors who need help with their cell phones.
