Seeking Remote Technical Project Manager or Product Owner roles. As a Computer Engineer currently leading a 6-person team, I bridge the gap between code and business strategy. I don't just track tasks; I use my technical background to unblock developers, optimize workflows, and ensure we ship high-quality products. Open to any industry.

Computer Engineer turned Team Lead. Managing a remote team of 6. I bridge the gap between code and product strategy.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I am a Computer Engineer turned Technical Project Manager with a unique advantage: I speak the developers' language.
My career began in high-stakes enterprise environments (Fintech & Banking), where I built secure iOS applications and improved critical KYC processes. This 3-year technical foundation taught me the importance of reliability, strict testing disciplines, and architectural foresight.
However, my passion has evolved from writing code to orchestrating how products are built.
Currently, I act as the Team Lead & Producer for a remote game development venture. I manage a cross-functional team of 6, overseeing the entire product lifecycle—from roadmap planning and agile sprint management to resolving technical bottlenecks. I bridge the gap between business goals and engineering reality, ensuring that teams are aligned, unblocked, and delivering value.
I am looking for remote Technical Project Manager or Product Owner roles where I can leverage my engineering background to lead teams, streamline workflows, and deliver user-focused products effectively.
