What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

As a Certified Scrum Master and SAFe® 6 Product Owner/Product Manager, I bring over 5 years of experience in leading Agile teams and delivering impactful digital products. My expertise lies in backlog management, cross-functional collaboration, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that business objectives align with technical execution.

At American Express, I successfully acted as the Product Owner for global digital wallet onboarding features, driving a 45% year-over-year increase in wallet transaction volume. My strong technical background allows me to facilitate Agile ceremonies effectively and implement data-driven decision-making processes that enhance product development.

In addition to my role at American Express, I have a solid foundation in software engineering, having contributed to backend enhancements and deployment automation systems. My academic background in Computer Science and Quantitative Methods, coupled with my experience in statistical modeling and data analytics, equips me with a unique perspective on product management and development.
