About

PMP-certified Project Manager with 15+ years of hands-on delivery experience leading complex, enterprise-scale technology programs across global organizations including Cisco and Nokia. Proven expertise in waterfall, agile, and hybrid-agile delivery methodologies, with a strong record of resource and budget planning across multiple concurrent projects, building low-to-medium complexity enhancement roadmaps for custom-built applications, and producing high-quality project deliverables such as Project Charters, Statements of Work (SOW), risk registers, and change records. Skilled at using Azure DevOps Boards earning trust and influencing stakeholders without formal authority, and communicating effectively across all levels of the organization. Practical, collaborative, and solution-focused — recognized for consistently delivering measurable outcomes including 20% lower delivery slippage, 30% faster defect resolution, and 100% on-time release delivery. I drive end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technology programs — from platform engineering and enterprise transformation to agile program delivery at scale. Expert in defining and executing data migration strategies for SAP Databases, managing source-to-target mapping, ETL orchestration, data quality controls, and production cutovers. Demonstrated success delivering large-scale migration programs managing $5M+ budgets, coordinating 75+ cross-functional teams, and ensuring zero-downtime transitions. Proficient with API integrations (REST, SOAP), MFT/B2B protocols (SFTP, AS2, PGP), middleware platforms (Axway, IBM Sterling), and integrated testing (SIT, E2E, UAT). Track record of achieving 100% on-time delivery with full data reconciliation, security-by-design compliance, and operational excellence. I’m a seasoned Project and Technical Program Management leader with a proven track record delivering complex, cross‑functional initiatives that connect strategy, engineering, and execution. My expertise spans Engineering Operations and Governance, where I implement scalable delivery frameworks and drive consistency across global portfolios. With deep experience in Agile Delivery and SAFe Program Execution, I lead Cross‑Functional Global Teams (75+) through the End‑to‑End Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC)—from planning and development to launch and optimization. I’m passionate about DevOps & CI/CD Enablement, integrating automation and iterative delivery models that enhance productivity and reliability.
