What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an opportunity in a forward-thinking organization focused on AI, machine learning, cloud computing, operational excellence, or business process optimization, where I can apply my program management and business intelligence experience and continue to grow professionally and personally.

At Motive Technologies, Inc., I coordinate cross-functional platform programs across engineering groups and help turn organizational priorities into trackable plans. My work includes planning cadences, portfolio visibility, and clearer execution and validation expectations.

I support platform priorities tied to cost savings, reliability, and engineering efficiency, including Kafka concurrency optimization, Valkey migration, AI tooling enablement, and platform modernization.

At Walmart Global Technology, I managed digital and operational programs, including Recruiting Standardization and Digital Enablement Programs across the US and India corridor. I applied Lean and Six Sigma methods and developed leadership reporting with KPIs and OKRs.

Earlier, at MoneyGram International and Acidaes Solutions. Pvt. Ltd. (CRMNEXT), I worked on cloud migration, process automation, and CRM implementation projects. I hold PMP and Certified Scrum Master certifications, along with an Executive Masters of Business Administration in Strategy & Operations Management.
