Heriberto Javier Lugo

Software engineering leader in San Tan Valley, Arizona. I lead the engineers who build web platforms and own the delivery process behind them, plus the CMS migrations, content strategy, and reporting that keep those platforms honest.

Profile

Two decades across IT and software delivery, with deep work in Agile team leadership, web and CMS platforms, ITIL service management, and business intelligence.

I lead cross-functional engineering teams, own the delivery process behind web platforms, and run the large-scale migrations that move content between them. I hold a Bachelor's in Media Communications and a Master's in Business Intelligence from Full Sail University. That combination means I can lead the build, shape what sits on top of it, and then show the numbers that say whether it worked.
