What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Software Systems Engineering Program Manager at Apple, where I have successfully defined large-scale project scopes and milestones for over 15 technical teams. My efforts have led to a remarkable 30% improvement in on-time delivery through streamlined processes and enhanced communication. I take pride in owning the end-to-end program management for iPhone and Mac, acting as the central point of contact for more than 100 team members across various departments. This role has allowed me to foster alignment and drive execution from concept to launch.
Prior to my current position, I served as a Software Engineer for Speech and In-car Voice Assistant at Mercedes-Benz, where I implemented over 20 new features for the “HeyMercedes” platform, significantly enhancing its performance. My experience as a Scrum Master further honed my leadership skills, boosting team performance and increasing sprint velocity. I have a strong background in managing cross-functional teams and facilitating collaboration among key partners, which has been instrumental in my career development.
