Expertise

Depth across the full technology stack of a school.

Strategy and governance on one side, hands-on infrastructure and classroom integration on the other — and enough overlap between them that neither side gets neglected.

What I lead with.

The areas I'm brought in for, whether the mandate is academic technology, operations, or both.

IT Strategy & Governance

Setting direction and policy for how technology serves both academic and operational goals across a school or foundation.

In-House ERP & Software Development

Designing and building school management systems in-house, end to end — from Admissions to Attendance to Infirmary Management.

Infrastructure & Network Architecture

Servers, switches, wireless systems and campus-wide network design, built to scale across multiple sites.

Cybersecurity & Data Protection

Firewall infrastructure, access controls, segmented network policy, and certified ethical hacking grounding behind it all.

Classroom-Centered EdTech Integration

Evaluating and embedding digital tools the way teachers actually use them — not just what's easiest to provision.

Makerspace / STEM Program Design

Designing hands-on learning spaces — robotics, coding, electronics, 3D design and printing — grounded in IB MYP Design and certified Makerspace facilitation.

Multi-Campus / Multi-Branch IT Operations

Running technology strategy and support consistently across geographically separate campuses.

Budget & Vendor Management

Procurement, lifecycle management and vendor renegotiation that measurably cuts cost without cutting capability.

Team Leadership & Training

Building, coaching and managing IT teams, plus training teaching staff directly on the tools they're expected to use.

The platforms and infrastructure I work in daily.
