What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading cross-functional data, cloud, and AI projects where I can drive end-to-end delivery, mentor teams, influence strategy, and deliver measurable business impact within an agile, outcome-focused organization.

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.

I have led cross-functional teams of 20+ members, managed multimillion-dollar programs (over $10M), and delivered end-to-end implementations from initiation through hyper-care and handover.

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.
