WA@waqasahmed7
Senior AI specialist and software manager driving product-led engineering teams.
PakistanI am a senior software professional with over eighteen years of experience delivering products and leading engineering teams across AI, product management, and software architecture. I blend hands-on engineering (C#, VB.NET, Python) with product and Agile leadership to translate business needs into working software.
I have led AI initiatives, developed Python applications, and managed large product releases across international clients, including roles as Sr. Manager, Technical Project Manager, and Programme Architect. I established Agile/Business Agility functions, staffed and coached Scrum Masters and technical PMs, and standardized engineering practices to increase delivery quality and speed.
My measurable achievements include managing product releases for 50+ clients, building and shipping enterprise products and CPQ solutions, and implementing DevOps, source/version control and Agile processes to improve team performance and product maintainability.
