At Yondu Inc. (deployed to Jollibee Worldwide Services), I led planning, sprint governance and business readiness for the JPOS Back-of-House technology program. I coordinated cross-functional delivery and facilitated Agile/Scrum ceremonies.

At Toyota Motor Philippines Corp., I led the migration of Data Loss Prevention capabilities from Symantec to Microsoft 365 Purview. Earlier, I delivered SAP-integrated systems and led a Quality Management System implementation that reduced defect-reporting lag by 50%;
