Looking for Technical Project Manager or Solutions Engineer role at an AI or fintech company. I want to be in a team where the PM actually understands the codebase — I write Python, configure integrations, and set up automation, not just move tickets in Jira. Ideally a startup or scaleup where I can own delivery end-to-end and work closely with engineering.

What I'm looking for
I sit at the intersection of technical implementation and project delivery. Over 14 years I've been building, integrating, and automating systems across fintech, AI, legaltech, and insurance — hands-on with Python, APIs, and automation tools, while managing cross-functional teams and stakeholder expectations.
What I do: set up AI agents (VAPI.ai), configure LLM integrations, build automation pipelines (n8n, Make), write Python scripts, manage CRM implementations, and coordinate delivery for distributed teams.
Recent work: built AI voice intake system for a Legal 500 law firm (Sterling Law), coordinated delivery for a Telegram analytics platform (TgSight, 150K+ users), designed scoring and automation systems for immigration consultancy.
Open to remote Technical PM, Solutions Engineer, or Implementation roles. Flexible timezone.
