As an IT Infrastructure and Network Operations professional at Universal Music Group, I bring together technical expertise and strategic leadership to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure enterprise systems across global environments.Over the past six years, I’ve led and supported international infrastructure initiatives spanning 120+ managed sites — from Cisco IOS-XE and Palo Alto Pan-OS upgrades to AWS cloud migrations and DNS modernization projects. I’ve also designed and deployed a network observability platform using Python Flask, Docker, and AWS EKS, improving uptime visibility and accelerating issue response across our operations teams.I’m Cisco CCNA and DevNet Associate certified, with hands-on experience in network automation through Ansible and Python scripting. Beyond the technical side, I’m deeply committed to mentoring team members, building collaboration across departments, and driving process improvements that translate technology investments into measurable business value.My focus is on growing as an IT leader who bridges people, process, and technology — delivering innovation that empowers teams and advances organizational goals on a global scale.
