What I'm looking for
I’m a Project Coordinator / PMO Specialist with 8+ years of experience supporting IT, consulting, and non-profit projects using PRINCE2 and Agile methodologies. I’m known for strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and helping teams meet deadlines and project objectives through clear planning, reporting, and delivery tracking.
As a Project Management Officer (PMO) at Asian Institute of Insurance, I managed a portfolio of 24 projects valued at RM44.8M, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives. I developed project schedules, tracked milestones, monitored budgets and deliverables, and standardized project documentation and processes to improve efficiency and compliance.
In my Project Manager role at DXC Technology, I led multiple software development projects by coordinating schedules, resources, and deliverables to meet client requirements. I monitored project timelines, budgets, and risks, communicated progress to stakeholders, and reduced development time by 25% through improved coordination and streamlined workflows.
More recently, I’ve supported project coordination and PMO-type activities as a freelance Project Assistant and Sales Coordinator, including sprint planning, progress tracking, and preparation of project status reports. I also bring hands-on experience with PRINCE2, Agile, risk/issue tracking, and tools like Jira, Confluence, and MS Project, backed by certifications including PRINCE2 Practitioner, MSP Foundation, and P3O Foundation.
