What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my project management skills and technical background to drive impactful software solutions.

I am a strategic and technically adept Project Manager with over 6 years of experience delivering high-impact software solutions across media, SaaS, and enterprise environments. My proven success in leading Agile teams throughout the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) has significantly improved project delivery, stakeholder satisfaction, and technical quality. I am known for fostering inclusive, high-performance teams that prioritize accountability and psychological safety.

One of my career highlights includes leading the Agile transformation at WINK News, which accelerated delivery cycles by 15% and improved our Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 20%. Additionally, I built and scaled a SaaS platform using the MERN stack to over 1,000 daily users, increasing engagement by 50%. My experience also encompasses managing B2B software delivery for clients at JC&X, where I successfully cut project costs by 15% while enabling client scale-up.
