As part of my doctoral research in Information Systems (Ph.D.), I have conducted in-depth analyses of Public Sector and Government Information Systems, focusing on critical success factors, failure diagnostics, and best practice frameworks in e-Government, Digital Transformation, and IT Governance. My research encompasses a wide spectrum of international, national, and state-level IT initiatives, with emphasis on enterprise architecture alignment, stakeholder engagement, and change management in large-scale information systems deployments.
I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with advanced expertise in IT Program & Portfolio Management, Agile/Waterfall hybrid delivery, and PMI’s PMBOK methodologies. My experience includes end-to-end lifecycle management of complex IT projects, utilizing enterprise project management tools, risk mitigation strategies, and performance measurement frameworks. I am highly proficient in systems development, project management, information technology analysis and planning, project governance, scope management, and strategic alignment of IT with business objectives.
I hold certification in ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), with comprehensive knowledge of IT Service Management (ITSM) processes including Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Control, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). My expertise spans across IT operations, infrastructure lifecycle planning, and continuous service improvement.
As an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) across versions 10g, 9i, 8i, and 8, and an Oracle Small Business Certified Consultant, I bring significant experience in database architecture, SQL performance tuning, capacity planning, data security, and physical/logical data modeling in UNIX/Linux and Windows Server environments. I also specialize in Data Warehousing, including ETL pipeline design, dimensional modeling, and BI/reporting integration.
In addition to my technical work, I have a passion for web accessibility and inclusive design. I currently serve as a volunteer member of the State of Connecticut Accessibility Committee, advocating for WCAG-compliant web standards to ensure digital equity for users with disabilities.
Presently, I am employed at the Office of Policy and Management (OPM), State of Connecticut, where I am working as the Director of Statewide Reporting and Analytics.
