Personal Profile
I’m an experienced IT consulting professional seeking geographical barriers to breach and constantly looking for opportunities across the world. I have an in-depth IT experience starting my career as a Software Engineer building systems for big corporation. Later in my career, I joined consulting profession - solving business challenges became second nature to me as I am able to grasp both creative and logical aspect of IT Strategic Planning and IT Transformation.

Challenges build character
IT TECHNOLOGIST LOOKING FOR NEW OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME
The challenges we have overcome build our character and the outlook we have in all our endeavors. It is these defining moments when we get a great idea to solve our clients' greatest challenges, which consulting professionals cherish the most. Without that drive, the advice will become bland and the solution is empty .
As an IT Consultant, I am continuously seeking for opportunity to solve businesses' greatest challenges and CIOs' greatest dilemmas.

IT STRATEGIC PLANNING
My IT strategic planning combines a top down and bottom up approach with finesse of balance between business and technology. Long gone are the days when IT is just a support pillar. With the takeover of the nerds, IT use is now embedded into businesses with the need for creative ideas that include outlook on both business models as well as IT capabilities.
IT TRANSFORMATION
I use an approach of prioritizing needs of stakeholders in embracing IT transformation and change, as well as using my technical knowledge to derive the most benefit for clients in IT Transformation programs. The focus on changing business needs will be my main arsenal to ensure that your program is beneficial to your organization. I will keep in check the benefits derived in every decision and every step of the way for your program.
IT DELIVERY
Long gone are the days when IT Delivery is restrictive in requirements. With the advent of Agility age, IT Delivery must be able to adapt to new needs at any second. I adopt a flexible approach to manage delivery - anticipating every change and twist along the way. No IT journey is smooth sailing, but how adaptable your team is makes the greatest difference in achieving success or failure for your new implementation.
