About Patrick K.

I\'m an IT leader with 15+ years of experience covering enterprise applications, systems integrations and manufacturing technology. My career has spanned aerospace, semiconductor, space systems, and advanced recycling industries.My work centers on solving real business problems: reducing costs through smarter ERP strategy, integrating systems that shouldn\'t be siloed, and building processes that scale. I\'ve led implementations, redesigned architectures, managed budgets, and built teams — frequently bridging the gap between IT capabilities and evolving business demands.Recently, I\'ve been deepening my enterprise architecture practice — producing BPMN architecture diagrams, designing role-based access frameworks. I\'m currently pursuing TOGAF and ArchiMate certifications to formalize what I\'ve been doing hands-on in my most recent role.
