What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise Agile delivery end-to-end—owning scope, Jira backlogs, ceremonies, and risk/metrics—while partnering with product, architects, and stakeholders to build sustainable healthcare/MIS systems with strong DevOps and data-driven reporting.

I’m a Senior Software Project Manager with 15+ years of progressive experience delivering enterprise-scale software systems for governments, UN agencies, World Bank–funded programs, and international organizations. I lead end-to-end Agile and Scrum delivery—owning initiation through monitoring and delivery—while coordinating distributed cross-functional teams across the United States, Europe, and Asia. With a strong technical foundation in SDLC and health informatics, I translate evolving requirements into Jira-based epics, user stories, tasks, and sprint backlogs.

In my current role in Kathmandu (Remote), I lead delivery of enterprise healthcare and management information systems for a US-based health informatics organization, track performance with velocity, burn-down charts, sprint reports, KPIs, and risk registers, and report progress to executive stakeholders. I’m recognized for building sustainable systems and strengthening institutional ownership—through production-ready MIS platform implementations with a combined portfolio value of ~USD 10 Million. Earlier work includes managing a nationwide eCMS rollout (PDHJ, value USD 1.46 Million), conducting a PostgreSQL-based eCMS governance and technical audit (including Kubernetes-supported testing/deployment), and supporting EMIS and social protection MIS initiatives across Timor-Leste. I bring hands-on exposure to DevOps-enabled environments, containerized deployments, and data-driven reporting, and I’m a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM).
