What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a PMP-certified Software Project Manager with over five years of experience leading Agile and hybrid projects across various regions, including the US, UK, Asia, and the EU. My expertise lies in managing cross-functional teams and driving full-cycle delivery, ensuring that project outcomes align with strategic business goals. I excel in stakeholder engagement, risk management, and remote team leadership, effectively navigating the challenges of different time zones.

In my current role at SYNERGEN Health, I have successfully led the end-to-end delivery of multiple major releases, enhancing delivery velocity by 25% and reducing post-release defects by 30%. My proactive approach to risk management has significantly minimized critical blockers, ensuring compliance with audit standards. I am passionate about contributing to impactful, scalable platforms in a dynamic global environment, and I continuously seek opportunities to improve processes and drive team success.
