About

My Journey Strategic and execution-driven Technical Program Manager / Engineering Program Lead with 18+ years of experience leading global, multi-disciplinary programs across Product, Engineering. I began my program management journey leading a 30-member team building an ERP system, evolved to managing one of the world’s most widely used enterprise platforms — Jira — and today I drive programs for the most used product on the planet: Google Search It’s been a path shaped by curiosity, resilience, and an obsession with solving complex problems at scale. Every chapter—no matter how small—has contributed to where I am today. If there’s one thing I’ve learned: every step matters. Big outcomes often begin with humble starts. So if you're just starting out or finding your footing—embrace the grind, stay hungry, and keep showing up. The dots will connect
