Janika Imafidon has spent three and a half years leveling up at the Department of Information Resources (DIR), advancing from a procurement lead to Director of Enterprise Procurements. With over 15 years in state service and deep roots in Austin, Janika brings razor-sharp expertise to procurement, contract management, and project wrangling. She thrives on tactical negotiations and dissecting contract language, powered by a writer’s precision and an admin’s hyper-focus.

Janika pursues every challenge with curiosity, persistence, and a splash of humor. When the workday wraps up, those negotiation skills come in handy at home, especially during epic homework face-offs with her daughter. Beyond work, Janika funnels her creativity through singing, kid crafting, jewelry making, and summer camp hunting.
