What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in tech organizations that value innovation and collaboration, where I can lead impactful projects and drive operational excellence.

I am a Technical Program Manager with over 11 years of experience leading cross-functional teams in complex technical environments. My expertise lies in improving delivery velocity and resolving systemic blockers, ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. I have a strong foundation in Agile and Hybrid delivery methodologies, which I leverage to enhance collaboration and efficiency across teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a diverse portfolio of programs, including a $225M portfolio at Boeing, where I led cross-functional teams to deliver hardware and software solutions. My ability to facilitate stakeholder communication and align engineering practices has resulted in significant improvements in execution velocity and reduced delivery overhead. I am passionate about driving continuous improvement and fostering a culture of collaboration within technical teams.
