Helly Shah

I’m a Technical Program Manager and Project Manager in Software Engineering in Finance Domain with nearly 11 years of experience managing software development teams, driving productivity, and delivering high-quality software products under strict time schedules. I’ve led end-to-end delivery across the full SDLC using Waterfall and Agile Scrum, with a strong focus on estimation (WBS approach), architecture, and execution from requirements through implementation.

I coach teams through recurring 1-1s, mentoring, delegation, and performance reviews—while reducing operational risk by improving MTTM, ensuring high availability, and strengthening release readiness through defined test runs. Recently, I’ve driven migrations from Azure Team Foundation Servers to JIRA (including cross-team API development), and I previously led a team of 20 at the University at Buffalo’s Career Design Center—cutting cloud infrastructure costs by 30% and improving site visits/bookings by 20%.
