What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product and automation-focused role where I can turn operational pain points into shipped BRDs, UAT-ready releases, and AI/automation tools—partnering with cross-functional teams and ensuring non-technical adoption through training.

I’m a Product Specialist and self-taught developer with nearly a decade across banking operations, product delivery, and process automation. I turn operational problems into shipped tools by writing business requirements, running UAT, and building solutions teams can actually use daily.

At Bank of Maldives, I led end-to-end delivery for card products, wallet features, and operational workflows—personally delivering 85 implemented business-requirement documents and change requests in a single year. I ranked #1 on the internal delivery tool by scoring 310 against a team average below 90, and I coordinate across processing, contact-centre, credit, digital, and QA teams while translating operational needs into build-ready specifications.

I also drive adoption of AI and automation by non-technical staff, including PowerApps and internal tools that replace manual processes. I’ve built retrieval-augmented assistants (FAISS), an AI BRD generator, operational HTML tools for balancing and routing, and FastAPI + SQLite services for standardising local addresses—plus I co-founded a merchant-loyalty SaaS startup operating in the Maldives.
