What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, values innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 9 years of experience in IT project management and frontend development, I have successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver multiple responsive Single Page Applications (SPAs). My expertise in Agile methodologies has allowed me to streamline project execution, resulting in a 12% performance improvement within just six months. I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration and innovation are key.

At Muniweb, I directed a team of engineers and designers to deliver high-quality web applications on time and within budget. My role involved developing comprehensive product roadmaps and utilizing tools like Jira for task prioritization. I also conducted regular product demos to clients, ensuring their feedback was integrated into our development process. My commitment to enhancing team collaboration led to a remarkable 25% increase in project efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on improving workflows and integrating stakeholder feedback to achieve higher quality deliverables. My certifications as a Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Scrum Master (CSM) further underscore my dedication to excellence in project management.
