About

I'm a Project Manager with 10+ years of experience translating business needs into scalable tech solutions and leading cross-functional teams using Agile/Scrum. I specialize in bridging the gap between stakeholders and developers to ensure clarity, alignment, and timely delivery. My work spans both corporate and non-profit sectors, where I've led end-to-end product development, managed large-scale registrations in remote areas, and implemented multichannel communication strategies (SMS, email, WhatsApp). I also spearheaded the creation of a mobile app delivering digital identity cards—solving accessibility, cost, and infrastructure challenges. I’ve managed and worked closely with teams of 7+ engineers, aligning efforts across product, development, and delivery. I bring strategic thinking, operational discipline, and empathy-led leadership to every project. My expertise includes AWS cloud and a growing focus on adopting AI technologies to build practical, future-ready solutions. I began my career in Market Research, focusing on QA—validating survey logic, data accuracy, and user experience from both business and technical perspectives. I’ve contributed to ERP poc &mvp by mapping workflows and assessing solution fit, and have hands-on experience in .NET and MS SQL, building software solutions. I continue to grow across domains—integrating technology, people, and purpose.
