IT Manager
I bridge the gap between complex technical debt and business growth. With over 8 years of experience, I've helped organizations—from agile fintech startups to established microfinance banks—modernize their infrastructure without breaking the bank. My approach ensures every technical decision reflects on the bottom line, whether through a 15% reduction in OpEx or hardening a zero-trust security posture.
