IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Project Manager with over five years of experience in leading cross-functional teams and driving project success. My journey began as a Software Developer Engineer, where I honed my technical skills and developed a passion for problem-solving and stakeholder communication. At Lobb Logistics, I successfully led an Agile project delivery lifecycle for a 20-member team, achieving a remarkable 95% on-time delivery of sprint commitments.
Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on improving efficiency and reducing blockers. By implementing a weekly Risk-Review process, I was able to mitigate project delivery risks significantly. My technical background allows me to transform business-level feature requests into actionable technical epics, which has reduced development rework and improved overall project outcomes. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my leadership skills to foster collaboration and drive results.
