I lead data-informed product delivery for fintech payments, compliance, and onboarding platforms.

At PayPal, I own the backlog and release scope for Payments, Compliance, and Onboarding workstreams across 30 engineers spanning Android, iOS, web, backend, and QA.

I turn ambiguous business and compliance requirements into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria, using production data to guide prioritization. I coordinate go-live checks, sign off cross-team deployments, and surface sprint risks before they affect releases.

Previously at Backbase and HCL Technologies, I combined product delivery with hands-on Android engineering for enterprise banking products. I shipped retail banking and payment experiences in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Java, and Kotlin Multiplatform, including localized banking UI and reusable SDK components.

I'm a Certified Scrum Master who has led ceremonies for 20-person, two-squad teams in SAFe programs. I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot in daily workflows for compliance documentation, requirement cross-checking, and market research.
