Portfolio
My professional journey, skills, and achievements.
About Me
With my passion for technology, innovation, and change management, I help organizations build scalable and future-proof IT solutions. I have broad experience with Microsoft 365, Azure, Infrastructure as Code, Configuration as Code, Azure DevOps, and Azure Landing Zones, working at the intersection of technology and strategy.
My strength lies in bringing business and IT together. I combine technical expertise with a strategic perspective, translating complex IT challenges into workable, efficient, and sustainable solutions. In addition to designing and implementing cloud architectures, I focus on improving processes and developing generic services that make IT environments smarter and more effective.
Beyond my technical focus, I have a strong affinity for change management and organizational development. Throughout my career, I have applied change management principles to help teams and organizations grow and innovate. My research and workshops on employee silence and employee voice have contributed to an open work culture and better collaboration within teams.
"I am always looking for ways to make IT smarter, more efficient, and future-proof, without ever losing sight of the human factor."
