What I'm looking for

I want to deliver end-to-end fintech and technology projects—planning scope, managing risks and change, coordinating cross-functional teams, and turning execution data into executive-ready reporting across Agile and hybrid environments.

I’m a Project Manager with over 5 years of experience delivering complex fintech and technology projects across Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid environments. I lead end-to-end project lifecycles—from initiation through delivery and closure—while managing scope, risks, and changes to keep business-critical work on track.

In my most recent role, I managed delivery of over 17 concurrent fintech product initiatives by coordinating cross-functional teams and strengthening project planning and governance. I defined project scope and resources through initiation workshops and produced key project documentation, reducing kickoff ambiguity and delivery rework by 25%, while also improving schedule predictability and reducing delays by 20%.

I also focus on clarity for stakeholders: I facilitated Agile ceremonies across multiple squads to improve sprint consistency, coordinated end-to-end change requests to reduce production incidents, and delivered weekly executive status reporting through structured dashboards. With strong stakeholder management, Jira and MS Project planning, and a PMP credential, I translate project data into clear insights leadership can act on.
