Available to hire
Hi, I’m Mike Sebastian, an IT delivery professional focused on project-level and program-level support in highly regulated, fast-moving environments. My experience spans a wide range of initiatives, enabling me to tailor delivery frameworks and processes to the situation, surface subtle but high-impact dynamics, and keep stakeholders aligned.
When time permits, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Agile and IT delivery and contribute to professional platforms like LinkedIn. I’m passionate about building clear communication channels and strong cross-team relationships that drive timely, high-quality outcomes.
