About Me

I am a results-driven Senior Project Manager and Technical Delivery Lead with more than 16 years of experience delivering complex, multi-stakeholder digital programmes. My background spans digital media, SaaS, CRM, e-commerce, and web development, and I have led end-to-end delivery for high-traffic, high-visibility products.

I have successfully managed more than 260 projects and built a strong track record of keeping initiatives on time, on scope, and aligned with business goals. I work comfortably across editorial, marketing, commercial, and engineering teams, and I am used to serving as the main point of contact for senior stakeholders.

My experience includes Agile/Scrum delivery, sprint planning, retrospectives, risk management, milestone planning, resource allocation, and stakeholder reporting. I focus on creating clear delivery structures, removing blockers early, and maintaining transparency throughout the project lifecycle.

I also bring deep technical fluency across WordPress, WooCommerce, CRM systems, AI integrations, APIs, and modern web technologies. I have worked with tools and platforms such as Jira, Confluence, MS Project, ClickUp, Trello, Smartsheet, Slack, AWS, GCP, Laravel, React.js, Vue.js, Zapier, n8n, OpenAI, and Claude API.

In my recent roles, I have led delivery for major digital media properties and supported product development for education and software platforms. I have also acted as a technical advisor and team lead, helping shape technical direction, improve system scalability, and support cross-functional execution.

I hold a BS (Hons) in Software Engineering and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification. I am based in Dubai, UAE, and I am open to remote technical leadership and project management opportunities where I can combine delivery discipline with hands-on technical understanding.
