What I'm looking for

I’m actively seeking the right fit as I return from a planned career break, bringing my experience in programme delivery, Agile transformation and governance.

At Cloud Kinetics (Equinix Client), I owned delivery planning across eight workstreams for an AI-enabled HR analytics platform. I improved on-time delivery by 33% through dependency management and risk governance.

I ran SAFe planning cycles and Scrum ceremonies, and built Jira and Power BI dashboards that cut reporting overhead by 40%. I also created an Agile maturity assessment tool for the HR Hub platform.

At RedSeal Labs Inc., I worked across six teams on a cybersecurity SaaS platform. As Release Train Engineer, I reduced delivery slippage by 20% through proactive RAID governance and helped improve team velocity by 15% through Agile coaching and backlog discipline.

Earlier, at MCRPL, I managed ERP delivery and PMO operations across ten concurrent client programmes, sustaining on-time delivery and audit-ready records. I hold PRINCE2 Practitioner, SAFe 5.0 Release Train Engineer and Agile Scrum Master EXIN certifications, and recently completed Data Driven Product Management certification from IIT Guwahati.
