@andrnankran
I lead technology projects from scope and architecture through cross-functional delivery.
What I'm looking for
I manage end-to-end technology projects, bridging clients, business stakeholders, and engineering teams through scope definition, budgeting, planning, timeline tracking, and delivery.
At Phixies, I manage projects and client relationships while leading software development squads to deliver high-quality solutions. Previously at Bitshopp, I progressed from Tech Lead and Product Manager to CTO, defining product and technology roadmaps, evolving scalable software architecture, and managing engineering teams and Google Cloud infrastructure.
I've also led delivery for SenseData's data engineering and integration team, built Python and PostgreSQL ETL pipelines, and developed APIs for client-product integrations. My engineering background includes backend development, REST APIs, microservices, blockchain integration, smart contracts, and cloud infrastructure.
I bring project management and technical context together to support discovery, solution design, architecture discussions, and clear communication between technical and non-technical teams. I'm passionate about technology initiatives that create value for both clients and engineering teams.
