Hi, I'm Arslan. PMP-certified Senior Project Manager and Scrum Master, 10 years delivering complex software projects across the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and beyond. If you send me an invitation or a message about your project, I'll record you a quick Loom video showing exactly how I'd approach it. No generic templates, no pitch deck. If your project is slipping, scope is creeping, and your team is talking past your stakeholders, I take that over and get it shipping again, on time, on budget, and without the chaos. On Upwork alone: 100+ projects, 100% Job Success Score, $50K+ earned across global engagements. I work as a top-performing Project Manager in Agile project management for SaaS, PropTech, eCommerce, AI-driven products, and global digital transformation programs. ========================== ► WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HIRE ME ========================== A project that ships on time and on budget, with weekly status reports clear enough to forward straight to your investors or your board. Sprint goals your engineering team genuinely understands. Risks flagged early, not as a Friday-afternoon surprise. A single point of accountability so you can stop chasing updates and get back to running your business. ========================== ► WHAT SETS ME APART ========================== A software engineering background. I read code reviews, architecture diagrams, and tickets in the language your developers actually speak. Technical risks get caught before they turn into budget overruns. You don't need to translate anything for me, and your team doesn't need to dumb anything down. ========================== ► DELIVERY EXPERIENCE ========================== Global delivery across Salesforce Commerce Cloud (20+ international market launches), SaaS platforms, full website development and site maintenance, PropTech, digital transformation programs, ERP implementations, mobile and web applications, and AI products. I've also led AI delivery for clients building LLM-powered products, AI workflow automation, prompt engineering, and Generative AI integrations into existing platforms. I've led diverse teams of 10 to 30 people across engineering, QA, product, and design, fully remote, across time zones, with consistent on-time delivery. ========================== ► HOW I RUN DELIVERY ========================== Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, Traditional, Agile, or a hybrid tailored to your team. I choose whichever fits the work, not whichever looks neat in a slide. Day to day I'm in Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Confluence, MS Project, Notion, and Slack. I also use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to streamline project workflows around requirements, user stories, status reporting, risk analysis, and meeting notes, so my teams spend less time on admin and more time shipping. ========================== ► CERTIFICATIONS ========================== 40+ credentials in total, all earned. Project & Program Management: PMP, PRINCE2 Foundation, CAPM, PMI-ACP, PMO-CP, PMI-PMOCP Agile & Scrum: CSM, A-CSM, CSP-SM, CSPO, A-CSPO, CSP-PO, Scrum@Scale Practitioner, CAL-E, ACS-CF, DASM, Agile Hybrid Project Pro, Agile Metrics, SFC, SFPC, ISM SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework): SAFe 6 Agilist, SAFe 6 Scrum Master, SAFe 6 POPM, SAFe 6 Practitioner Kanban & Lean: TKP, SBK, KSI, KSD, KMP, Lean Six Sigma White Belt IT, Quality & Security: ITIL 4 Foundation, Oracle Primavera P6, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor (QMS), ISO 27001 Lead Auditor (ISMS), ISO 45001 Lead Auditor (OHSMS), IOSH Managing Safely AI & Emerging Tech: Gen AI for Project Managers (PMI), Prompt Engineering Foundation (CertiProf), Practical Application of Gen AI for PMs (PMI) ========================== ► HOW I WORK WITH CLIENTS ========================== Clear communication from day one. No surprises on scope or budget. Full timezone alignment. Real team leadership. A project manager who takes ownership instead of just sending status updates. ========================== ► WHAT CLIENTS SAY ========================== "Arslan managed project execution across our fairly complex PropTech ecosystem with strong structure and discipline. A highly dependable and structured PM I'd gladly work with again." "I had a one-hour consultation with Arslan, and it was extremely valuable. He quickly understood our challenges, identified key gaps, and provided clear, actionable recommendations. His communication was professional, structured, and easy to follow, reflecting his strong experience in Agile and project delivery. We gained real clarity." ========================== ► LET'S TALK ========================== If your project needs an owner, not just a coordinator, let's talk. I usually respond within a few hours. ========================== ► ROLES I WORK IN ========================== Project Manager, IT Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, Scrum Master, Agile Project Manager, Business Analyst, Agile Delivery Manager, Product Owner, Program Manager

Certified PMP, PSM II, PSPO II. I run software delivery end-to-end and fix teams that ship late, ship the wrong thing, or burn out doing it.
