🚀 PROJECT MANAGEMENT & DELIVERY
As a Project Manager, I manage projects from requirements and planning through development, QA, release, and continuous improvement. My Project Management experience covers Project Planning, Project Delivery, Project Timelines, milestones, resource planning, risk management, stakeholder management, requirements management, documentation, and team coordination.
I work with founders, clients, developers, designers, QA, and DevOps to keep ownership clear, identify blockers early, manage dependencies, and make sure everyone understands what happens next.
🔧 TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
As a Technical Project Manager, I bring a software development background into Technical Project Management. I started my career as a developer, so I'm comfortable discussing APIs, frontend and backend development, databases, integrations, cloud services, QA, deployments, and technical dependencies directly with engineering teams.
My Technical Project Management work includes business and technical requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, estimation, prioritization, development team coordination, APIs and integrations, risk and dependency management, QA, release management, and stakeholder communication.
🔄 AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SCRUM
As an Agile Project Manager, I've spent years managing software development teams using Agile Project Management, Scrum, and Kanban. I'm PSM I certified and comfortable adapting the process to the team instead of forcing every project into the same framework.
My Agile Project Management experience includes Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Backlog Refinement, backlog management, user stories, acceptance criteria, Sprint Reviews, Retrospectives, estimation, velocity tracking, Scrum, Kanban, blocker management, QA, and release planning.
I've worked with software teams delivering one release per sprint, coordinating requirements, development, QA, stakeholder feedback, bug fixes, and release readiness.
Agile Project Management should make delivery clearer and more predictable, not create more meetings.
👥 TEAM & STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT
Good Project Management depends on communication. I've led cross-functional teams of up to 11 people and worked with clients and distributed teams across the US and Europe.
I focus on clear ownership, realistic expectations, early communication of risks, and making sure technical and non-technical stakeholders understand where the project stands.
