What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise Agile delivery and digital transformation where AI-powered automation, strong release governance, and data-driven execution metrics are valued to deliver predictable outcomes, quality stability, and measurable business value.

I’m a Technical Project Manager with 18+ years of experience driving enterprise-scale Agile delivery, digital transformation, and multi-platform product releases across media-tech, BFSI, and enterprise IT. I build high-performing onsite–offshore teams and lead Scrum, Kanban, and XP at scale to improve velocity, governance, and transparency.

I focus on predictable execution by pairing program governance, risk/dependency management, and release orchestration with AI-powered workflow automation—such as using Google Gemini to auto-create JIRA issues from production emails and refreshing JIRA–Excel tracking hourly. I’ve improved sprint commitment reliability (~20%), reduced regression cycle time (~20%), and strengthened release stability through defect triage governance and automation-first SDLC practices.
