What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in AI and project management.

With over 8 years of experience in project controls and generative AI, I specialize in cost forecasting, schedule analysis, and reporting automation. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to reduce cost overruns and enhance EVM visibility through innovative solutions. I have successfully delivered executive-ready dashboards using tools like Power BI, Primavera P6, and SAP, ensuring that stakeholders have the insights they need to make informed decisions.

In my current role as a DevOps Engineer and AI Solution Architect, I lead the design and deployment of scalable infrastructure for AI-powered project controls. My work includes developing dashboards that utilize LLM backend switching and implementing AI governance frameworks across cloud environments. Previously, as a Generative AI Project Manager, I deployed systems that saved over 300 hours per quarter and built forecasting models with remarkable accuracy. My commitment to excellence drives me to continuously seek ways to improve processes and deliver value.
