I'm a Project Manager and Product Owner with 13+ years in tech. I lead cross-functional teams, drive product strategy from discovery to post-launch, and ship projects on time while aligning stakeholders. I coordinate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and cross-team delivery, and I work with tools like Slack, Jira Cloud, Confluence, and Git/GitLab to keep programs moving forward. I'm a fast learner who enjoys solving complex problems with AI-powered solutions, building scalable web and mobile apps, and mentoring teams across time zones. I thrive on turning client needs into clear roadmaps, aligning stakeholders, and continuously improving processes and outcomes through data-driven decisions.
