IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Project Manager with 6+ years of experience delivering complex embedded and security software programs across global automotive organizations.

In my recent role, I managed end-to-end delivery of an embedded security platform with HSM integration, coordinated critical dependencies across application/ECU/validation teams, and reduced integration cycle time by ~87% through process improvements and CI/CD alignment—while staying proactive on risks, escalations, and project metrics for leadership visibility.
