Process Automation : I harness the power of Microsoft's Power Platform, including Power Automate, PowerApps, and Power BI, to create self-contained programs that significantly streamline processes. These solutions require minimal external user interaction and have proven to save substantial time for the teams that benefit from my work.
Cybersecurity Focus : My team is dedicated to cybersecurity, with a primary focus on areas such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and asset protection, both hardware and software-related. We contribute to the safeguarding of critical assets and sensitive data.
Stakeholder Engagement : A critical aspect of my role is effective communication. I establish and nurture relationships with stakeholders, facilitate meetings to gather project requirements, and ensure successful project completion. I also oversee any necessary revisions to guarantee alignment with stakeholders' needs.
