Paul Ifidi

I am an experienced IT Manager and Senior Systems Engineer with over 10 years of success leading IT operations, systems architecture, and digital transformation across diverse industries. My expertise spans DevOps, SysOps, cloud infrastructure, AI integration, and IT service management—allowing me to bridge the gap between complex technical systems and business strategy.

Throughout my career, I’ve led the design and deployment of scalable IT solutions, implemented automation strategies, and built secure, high-performance infrastructures using tools such as AWS, Azure, Docker, PowerShell, and Linux-based systems. I’m well-versed in managing teams, optimizing processes, and delivering results in fast-paced, dynamic environments.

A strong advocate for continuous improvement, I’ve mentored junior professionals and contributed to building IT teams capable of supporting growth and innovation. I’m passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and improve operational efficiency.

Currently, I’m deepening my academic focus in artificial intelligence and systems optimization, in preparation for a Ph.D. that will enable me to connect practical IT leadership with cutting-edge research.

I’m open to global opportunities where I can contribute my skills, leadership, and vision to impactful projects. Whether working with technical teams, scaling infrastructure, or leading IT transformation initiatives, I bring a collaborative mindset, a strategic approach, and a commitment to excellence.
