What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Project Manager role where I can lead cross-functional teams, run Agile delivery end-to-end, manage scope/schedule/budget, and communicate clearly with stakeholders—bringing biotech and data analytics thinking to execution.

I’m a PMP Certified Project Manager with 7 years of experience leading interdisciplinary teams in IT & life science domains to deliver complex projects on time and at scale. I focus on execution discipline—translating business requirements into technical specifications and keeping milestones aligned to scope, schedule, and budget.

I’ve improved timelines and productivity through strong stakeholder communication, Agile monitoring, and rigorous risk and scope management using tools like Jira and Smartsheet. With hands-on biotech research experience and proficiency in R, Java, and Python for analyzing complex datasets, I bridge technical concepts for non-technical audiences and support regulated work with QA compliance (CLIA, GCLP) and governance-ready reporting.
