About

Professional summary

I am a Senior IT Project Manager with more than 10 years of experience leading enterprise IT delivery, platform modernization, web, API, telecom, e-commerce, and public-sector initiatives.

I lead projects from intake and planning through implementation, testing, UAT, release readiness, production handoff, and closeout. I establish project controls, clarify ownership and dependencies, track decisions, and maintain clear stakeholder communication.

I have managed complex delivery environments including FICO credit decisioning, Adobe AEM and Sitecore modernization, Tableau integration, AT&T API and messaging platforms, public-sector websites, payment flows, and enterprise e-commerce experiences.

I work effectively across technical teams, vendors, business stakeholders, executive leadership, offshore delivery teams, QA, and product partners. My delivery approach combines Agile/Scrum, Waterfall, and hybrid project-management practices based on project needs.

I am experienced with enterprise delivery tools including Jira, Azure DevOps, SharePoint, Microsoft Project, Confluence, Asana, PRISM, and Microsoft 365. I also use AI-assisted research and documentation workflows to improve project communication and planning.
