A background in hospitality management has given me a unique view into the inner workings of complex IT environments. I see IT as much more than just a department that makes things work. I see IT as a way to consistently push a company forward by integrating solutions that will allow teams to work smarter. I consistently strive to make technologies work for the business, to find creative and efficient ways to improve a company's bottom line and spark growth while controlling costs and increasing organizational efficiencies. I currently possess the Security+ and MCSE certifications. My future goals are to obtain my PMP and MBA in IT Management. Specialties: Enterprise IT leadership, Agile project management (Scrum and Kanban), Process management (ITIL, ISO 20000, CMMI), DevOps philosophies, Automation design and deployment in both Windows and Linux/Unix environments, Configuration management, Network infrastructure design.
