I’m a results-driven Senior Technical Project Manager with 15+ years leading IT program delivery and business analysis across banking, alternative asset management, data management, and healthcare. I combine program rigor with hands-on technical fluency to keep delivery aligned, auditable, and outcome-focused.

In my current role at Wipro Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Client: Citi Bank), I delivered an $11M+ ISO 20022 payments program globally, optimizing costs by 15% through strategic automation and pipeline planning. I manage multi-million dollar budgets using Earned Value Management (EVM), achieving 95% forecast accuracy through strict financial controls. I also established RAID logs, used RACI matrices to clarify accountability across distributed teams, and administered Statement of Work (SOW) contracts across vendor ecosystems.

Earlier, as a Project Manager for Blackstone, I led an on-premises to AWS cloud migration from proof of concept to full production deployment in under 1 year, ensuring zero data loss and minimal operational downtime. I revamped the internal Conflict Compliance tool (BClear) using Agile workflows, stakeholder interviews, and design thinking, improving efficiency by 40–50%. I also drove CI/CD and DevOps automation best practices, reducing production release errors by 20%, while directing microservices and Kafka-based system integrations.

Before program management, I built strong delivery foundations as a Product Owner and Business Analyst, authoring BDD user stories and acceptance criteria and translating business needs into requirements, BRDs/FRDs, and UAT-ready artifacts. I’m proud of the way I work with engineering and stakeholders—structured, collaborative, and measurable—supported by PMP, CSPO, and CSM certifications and a continuous-improvement mindset.
