What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

With over 10 years of experience across various industries, I have honed my skills in project management, operations, and logistics. My journey has taken me from being a Design Engineer in the semiconductor field to a Senior Business Manager in telecommunications. I thrive on challenges and have a proven track record of optimizing processes and driving efficiency. One of my proudest achievements was building a fully operational logistics hub in Punjab, India, which became a key center for the region within just a year.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams and projects, ensuring that objectives are met while maintaining high standards of quality and performance. My hands-on experience with software tools like Atlassian Jira, SQL, and Tableau has enabled me to implement data-driven solutions that enhance operational efficiency. I am passionate about generating innovative ideas and finding practical solutions to complex problems, always learning from my experiences to foster continuous growth.
