About Me

The PM who bridges
technology & people

I'm a Technical Project Manager with 7+ years of experience delivering high-stakes digital transformation across GovTech, FinTech, and IoT—environments where there is zero room for ambiguity or late deliveries.

The Engineering Edge: Because I started as a software engineer, I don't just manage timelines; I understand the code. I can dive deep with dev teams to catch estimation risks early, then pivot to an executive boardroom to translate technical hurdles into clear business decisions. I close the gap that usually kills project momentum.

The Human Element: I bring structure to chaos and calm to crises. Whether I'm navigating a high-pressure launch or building trust across cultures in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, my goal is always the same: delivering technology that actually serves the community it was built for.
