Expert in leading projects to completion under budget and within deadlines, ensuring compliance with regulations. Demonstrated ability to oversee a team of 20+ workers, enhancing productivity and maintaining high-quality standards. I believe the skills needed to accomplish the tasks i have completed in the field of construction management are very transferable and beneficial to the cyber security and IT roles. Construction projects have always hit snags, as a skilled manager assessing a problem, and figure out the best solution to get things moving again, essentially the definition of cyber security. My passion for the world of cyber security has been calling me in a way that i am willing to make this career change. An employer that is willing to invest into me will get a hard dedicated worker that is passionate about his projects and is not there to just run a clock until the end of the day.
