What I'm looking for
I am a strategic and articulate project manager with nearly 14 years of global experience, focused on consulting and delivering projects in AI, machine learning, analytics, and IT transformation.

My background spans cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), data engineering, BI, predictive analytics, ITIL-based service management, and agile delivery; I have driven migrations, platform modernizations, and ML infrastructure upgrades in large enterprises.
I bring strong stakeholder management, vendor oversight, and measurable impact—examples include a 5% hit-ratio improvement yielding 19% revenue growth, automation reducing manual effort by 25%, and productivity gains from improved scrum practices.
