@karina-orellana7
Experienced IT Project Manager and Scrum Master driving telecom infrastructure delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT Project Manager with over six years of experience leading technology infrastructure projects across the telecommunications sector in Latin America and with international partners.
I have successfully planned and delivered multiple concurrent projects, coordinated multidisciplinary teams of up to 12 people, and worked closely with national and international vendors to meet deadlines and budgets.
I apply agile methodologies (sprints, stand-ups, backlog prioritization) alongside traditional practices to improve processes, track milestones, and ensure high-value deliverables while preparing for PMP certification.
I am motivated by a passion for technology, continuous learning, and taking on new challenges — seeking to grow by incorporating technology and software development projects into my portfolio.
