What I'm looking for

I'm progressing toward a career as a Product Manager and future CTO, drawing on my technical expertise, business acumen, and strategic vision to drive impactful digital solutions.

At CrushBank, I lead end-to-end delivery of data lakehouse, ETL, and AI initiatives, including the VC3 Customer Churn Prediction program. I coordinate data, ML, and platform teams on pipelines integrating enterprise systems into the IBM Iceberg Data Lakehouse.

At Summit IT Services, I defined and prioritized technical requirements for remittance software and oversaw integrations with payment gateways, banking systems, and other financial services.

At Cedar Gate Technologies, I led file mapping and claim reconciliation projects, including automation of EDI 837/835 workflows that reduced manual processing time by 50%. I also managed a client-facing app for real-time data retrieval and integrated HIPAA-compliant security measures.

Earlier, I developed the OrbisPay salary advance system at Rosebay Corporate and worked on cloud architecture and WebEx support at Cisco Systems India Ltd. My experience spans software delivery, engineering, and project management across financial technology and healthcare.
