I am a results-driven Project Manager with extensive experience in B2B banking and IT products. Over the past 3½ years, I’ve driven best-in-class customer experiences and been responsible for designing and optimizing operational processes. 1. Discovery: I kick off sprint-zero workshops with stakeholders to define user stories, prioritize the backlog, and validate the product vision through rapid prototyping and early user feedback. 2. Development: I lead cross-functional Agile teams in time-boxed sprints, delivering working increments with continuous integration, automated testing, and regular demos to ensure quality and stakeholder alignment. 3. Delivery: I manage automated deployments and real-time monitoring, gather user insights post-release, and drive sprint retrospectives to optimize performance, scalability, and customizable enhancements.
