About

I'm a strategic IT leader with a track record of building and scaling foundational IT systems in complex, fast-moving environments. My career has evolved from hands-on network engineering to IT architecture and management — giving me a rare combination of deep technical fluency and executive-level strategic thinking.

At Partners in Health, I scaled the infrastructure team from 3 to 12 members, led enterprise-wide cloud and virtualization initiatives, and implemented governance frameworks — including NIST, ITIL Change Management, and RACI — that matured the organization's IT posture while supporting rapid growth.

I'm energized by the opportunity to apply my expertise in Okta, modern MDM, cloud infrastructure, and IT strategy to build a resilient, efficient IT function at a high-growth company from the ground up.
