Nice to meet you

ABOUT ME

I bring over two decades of extensive experience within the cruise industry, commencing in 1996 with a distinguished career that spans both onboard and shoreside roles. Serving as a Senior Technical Specialist (IT Officer) during my tenure at sea, I honed my expertise in managing intricate technical systems vital to cruise operations.

Transitioning to shoreside positions, my career trajectory has seen me excel in various pivotal roles, including software development, systems analysis, technical leadership for new builds and dry docks, senior systems analysis, and solutions architecture. My distinct contributions have left an indelible mark on the industry, as I have had the privilege to collaborate with five of the foremost cruise lines.

This diverse exposure has equipped me with unparalleled insights into the multifaceted business solutions that underpin shipboard operations. I possess comprehensive knowledge in areas such as property management, point-of-sale systems, payroll and gratuity processing, mobile device management, learning management, human resources, and automation systems. My proficiency in these critical domains positions me as a valuable asset to any cruise industry endeavor.
