My Name is Dona Pratama Valco Qualentino, known as Valco. I have finished my formal education at STT TELKOM Bandung now known as Telkom University, where I obtained a Bachelor degree at Electronics Telecommunication Engineering (Transmission and Communication System Major); and also obtained a Master Degree from Kyoto University at Robotics Major.

Project Management Experience

As a Project Manager, I have successfully managed resources, budgets, timelines, and constraints across diverse IT projects, leveraging both internal teams and external partnerships with principal vendors like Microsoft and Oracle. My portfolio includes leading data center implementations and relocations, disaster recovery system deployments, and hardware and software rollouts, ranging from single installations to multi-year support contracts. For example, I spearheaded a data center relocation for a telecommunications client, integrating Cisco switches (embedded systems) and optimizing network performance. I also managed a banking system implementation, utilizing SQL Server and SSIS to streamline data integration. My ability to adapt quickly to new industries and technologies, combined with my experience leading multicultural teams (e.g., Asian and European stakeholders), ensures consistent delivery of high-impact projects on time and within budget.

IT Management Experience

As an IT Manager, I have aligned business processes with organizational objectives, overseeing the development and management of servers, applications, and databases tailored to diverse needs, including finance, reporting, ERP, B2B, B2C, and specialized aviation systems for aircraft rotation, maintenance, and cargo management. Starting as a network administrator, I managed internal resources to build and maintain critical systems, ensuring operational efficiency. I have driven the software development lifecycle (SDLC), implementing Agile methodologies to deliver solutions like ERP platforms and custom reporting tools. Additionally, I established and maintained IT compliance with standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, conducting regular audits and process improvements to uphold security and governance. My technical expertise in tools like Database Management System (such as SQL Server and Oracle, Integration System (such as SSIS), and Monitoring System (such as Elastic and Zabbix), combined with my fast-learning ability, enabled me to optimize system performance and support business growth across industries. My multicultural experience, collaborating with teams from Malay, Singaporean, and Arabic backgrounds, has enhanced my ability to manage diverse stakeholders and deliver client-focused solutions, making me well-suited to contribute to innovative environments and embedded systems initiatives.

Additional Roles and Contributions

Beyond project and IT management, I have served as a lecturer in Project Management and Java Development, sharing practical insights with students to bridge academic and industry knowledge. As Head of Delivery, I was responsible for manpower planning, revenue recognition, and ensuring timely project delivery. For instance, I led delivery for a hospitality system implementation, coordinating with Oracle to deploy a cloud-based database solution, which improved operational efficiency by 20%.
