Biography:

With over 15 years in the IT industry, I’ve worn many hats – from developer to project manager. My journey has taught me the importance of clear communication, efficient processes, and strong teamwork in delivering successful IT projects. My core strengths include:
– Business Analysis: I enjoy bridging the gap between stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring solutions meet real needs.
– Project Management: Whether using Agile or Waterfall methodologies, I focus on delivering quality results on time and within budget.
– Agile Practices: I’m a firm believer in Agile principles and continuously work to implement them in project workflows.
– Technical Background: My past experience as a C# developer helps me communicate effectively with technical teams. I’ve also led initiatives to improve delivery processes and explored new organizational models like Holacracy to enhance team efficiency. Recently, I’ve expanded my interests to include mentoring at startup events and exploring angel investment opportunities.
