## About

```text
At AB {Ark}, I lead software projects from initiation through delivery, aligning execution with client objectives and technical requirements. I facilitate sprint ceremonies across Development, UI/UX, and QA teams and share project and risk updates with the CTO and board-level leadership.

At Red Star Technologies, I managed software projects end-to-end and translated client needs into user stories, functional specs, and wireframes. I also coordinated software testing, defect tracking, and retesting using SQA methodologies.

Earlier, as Assistant Operations Manager at ZamFM LTD, I managed internal resources to meet client operational and security needs. I also developed job descriptions and organized training programs.
