What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As an accomplished Technical Project Manager with over 7 years of experience, I have successfully led cross-functional and distributed teams in delivering complex software solutions. My proficiency in Agile methodologies, risk management, and stakeholder engagement has allowed me to manage projects of significant complexity and scale. I excel at translating business needs into actionable technical solutions, ensuring that client expectations are not only met but exceeded.

In my current role as Cofounder and Lead Project Manager at Apt Software, I spearheaded the delivery of over 10 software products for US-based clients, including the prestigious MIT Media Lab. My leadership of remote teams has been instrumental in modernizing workflows and enhancing efficiency through the implementation of Agile practices. I am committed to continuous improvement and fostering a collaborative environment that drives project success.
