About

Professional summary

I am a delivery-focused Senior Project Manager with more than five years of experience leading complex Web2, Web3, fintech, crypto, and AI/LLM engagements in outsourcing and agency environments.

I manage multiple concurrent projects, establish delivery controls, recover troubled engagements, and align cross-functional teams around clear SDLC processes, estimation, UAT, documentation, and change management.

I am experienced in client-facing delivery across Europe, the UAE, the US, and Uzbekistan. I work confidently with C-suite stakeholders on pre-sales, budgeting, scope negotiation, resource planning, and delivery escalations.

I combine project management with hands-on technical fluency in AI delivery. I have built transcription and diarization pipelines using WhisperX, NVIDIA NeMo, and Parakeet V3, and I continue developing LLM automation and agentic coding capabilities.

I have also built and operated self-hosted AI infrastructure, including a multi-model local LLM stack with llama.cpp, llama-swap, Open WebUI, and ComfyUI. My technical background helps me bridge business requirements and engineering implementation.

Before moving into IT delivery, I gained more than 20 years of commercial and entrepreneurial leadership experience, including founding an HVAC business and a recycling facility. This gives me strong ownership, operational, budgeting, and P&L instincts.
