Senior Technical Program Manager with expertise in agile project delivery.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Technical Program Manager with 15 years leading large-scale engineering and AI transformation programs across global banking and fintech — including Standard Chartered Bank, Wells Fargo, and Infosys. My work sits where strategy meets execution. I've led cross-functional engineering organizations spanning backend, frontend, QA, DevOps, and platform — coordinating 3–5 teams simultaneously — and consistently delivered 25–40% improvements in delivery velocity and predictability across complex, regulated environments. Most recently, I led the build of an AI-powered SDLC automation platform using RAG architecture that automated end-to-end software delivery artifact generation across multiple use cases — reducing manual overhead and accelerating delivery cycles. I have presented transformation roadmaps and program outcomes directly to C-suite and VP-level stakeholders across global organizations. Core strengths: program governance at scale, AI-led delivery transformation, engineering org design, stakeholder alignment from team to C-suite, and embedding AI into real-world delivery systems in regulated environments. Currently targeting Senior TPM roles at product companies where I can bring enterprise-scale execution discipline and AI transformation depth to high-velocity engineering organizations.
