@angelakabari
Senior Project Manager passionate about technology and social impact.
I am a Senior Project Manager with a little over 10 years experience in managing software development projects remotely. I have used agile and waterfall methodologies to build web and mobile software, including open-source digital health solutions and wildlife conservation applications.
I have successfully managed software projects from end-to-end, that is from proposal and budget development, gathering requirements and scoping projects, managing engineering teams to deliver software through to Quality Assurance (QA) / User Acceptance Testing (UAT), in addition to documentation. I employ design thinking and human-centered design principles throughout my projects to ensure user needs remain front and center.
I have excellent communication skills, extensive experience in stakeholder engagement, as well as delivering both virtual and in person capacity building and training sessions to diverse audiences. I have worked remotely for just over a decade with colleagues and partners in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
