What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional Agile teams, drive product roadmaps and deliver customer-focused digital transformation, with opportunities for coaching and technical collaboration.

I am a senior product professional with deep experience as a Product Owner, Scrum Master and Project Manager across telecommunications, aviation, fintech, healthcare and defense. I have led multiple MACH and microservice teams, delivered 20+ major releases in a year, and designed embedded and mobile software shipped with major OEMs.

I combine hands-on technical skills in C/C++, Java, Python and cloud-native architectures with strong Agile coaching, stakeholder management and risk mitigation. I hold PSPO-I and PSM-I certifications and a track record of driving digital transformation, migration to AWS, and delivering customer-focused product outcomes.
