What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to lead transformative projects in a collaborative environment.

I am a highly driven IT Project Manager with a proven track record in accelerating RPA automation delivery and leading impactful digital transformation initiatives. My experience includes successfully increasing automation delivery by over 100% for a leading US Credit Union, resulting in substantial ROI post-implementation. I am a Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) with a solid foundation in Generative AI, and I am proficient in Agile methodologies, Scrum, Jira, stakeholder management, and executive reporting.

In my current role at ClaySys Technologies, I have managed end-to-end project lifecycles for high-value RPA initiatives, ensuring meticulous requirement definition, backlog prioritization, and timely delivery. I have scaled team capabilities by 75%, dramatically boosting overall delivery efficiency and expanding project portfolio capacity. My commitment to stringent project governance and quality assurance has consistently maintained delivery timelines and achieved high client satisfaction.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication, where I graduated with distinction. I have also gained practical experience through internships in solar design and radio transmission, which have further enhanced my project management skills and technical communication abilities.
