What I'm looking for

I want to lead cross-functional delivery using Agile, stakeholder alignment, and requirements-driven planning—using BI and AI-powered tools (SQL/Python, n8n, Looker/Qlik) to improve workflows, reduce blockers, and ship reliable digital products.

I’m a Project Manager with a multidisciplinary background spanning scientific research, operations, Business Intelligence, and Technical Product Management. I lead cross-functional teams to coordinate digital product delivery, manage stakeholders, gather requirements, and drive projects from planning to release—combining a strong analytical mindset with hands-on Agile execution.

In my current role as a Technical Product Manager, I manage project scope, priorities, sprint planning, and task allocation using Agile methodologies and Linear. I collaborate directly with clients and stakeholders to define project objectives, align business needs with technical solutions, and remove blockers—while coordinating developers and designers to ensure timely delivery and quality. Previously, as a Data Scientist Trainee & BI Engineer, I supported operational delivery of AI solutions across client projects, including migrating reporting dashboards from Looker to Qlik, validating data with SQL and Python, and improving workflow automation with n8n and AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and Lovable.
