About

With 15+ years in enterprise workload automation, I architect and modernise large-scale Control-M environments — currently governing 30+ servers and 100,000+ daily jobs at Target. I delivered the full Control-M lifecycle: V7→V9.0.22 upgrades, AIX→CentOS-->Oracle Linux migrations, REST API integration, and CI/CD pipeline embedding. My governance frameworks span SOX, PCI-DSS, and Control-M Workload Change Manager (WCM), ensuring platform operations meet security and compliance mandates in regulated environments. Recognised as a Security Ninja at Target for embedding vulnerability management and compliance controls directly into scheduling infrastructure.
