What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles driving platform and AI-enabled transformations where I can lead cross-functional teams, optimize delivery, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Senior Technical Program Manager with two decades of IT experience, including a decade leading engineering, product, and enterprise transformations across SaaS, startups, and Fortune 500 companies in the EU, USA, and India. I specialize in owning high-impact programs that scale API platforms, modernize CI/CD and cloud infrastructure, and integrate enterprise systems to create measurable business value.

At Celonis I directed platform delivery and a global AI enablement program across 600+ engineers, delivering a $4M annual productivity gain and managing $1M/year outsourcing programs tied to major revenue projections. Previously I led delivery of a Parking-as-a-Service API platform with 99% uptime and a projected $10M five-year revenue stream, and drove omnichannel and logistics transformation programs unlocking $30M+ in revenue.

I bring pragmatic technical acumen in microservices, Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, CI/CD and AWS, combined with strong stakeholder engagement, vendor management, and executive communication. I focus on empowering engineering teams, optimizing systems, and delivering enterprise-ready platforms that reliably translate into business outcomes.
