Jira & ITSM Consultant

I bring 10+ years of IT project management experience with hands-on Jira implementation and administration. Throughout my projects, I have worked with Jira configuration, workflows, permissions, automation, dashboards, Agile delivery, and service-management processes. I now specialize in helping IT teams design, implement, and manage Jira and Jira Service Management environments aligned with their business and ITSM needs.

My approach combines process understanding with practical Jira configuration—so workflows, permissions, automation, reporting, and service operations work together rather than becoming disconnected configurations.
