What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impactful project management.

I am an AWS Cloud Application Developer with a strong background in leading successful software projects and managing timelines, budgets, and risks. My experience spans across various roles at Amazon Web Services, where I have driven Agile delivery and bridged technical and business goals to deliver impactful solutions. I am passionate about leveraging my deep technical expertise and stakeholder management skills to transition into a Technical Project Manager role.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led multiple AWS Service migrations, significantly enhancing security and operational efficiency. One of my proudest achievements was leading a cross-team system integration design that reduced application processing time by 83%, resulting in substantial cost savings. I am also dedicated to mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment, ensuring knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
