About

Technical Program Manager with 8+ years across fintech and SaaS, spanning payments infrastructure, merchant integrations, and platform delivery. I started in hands-on technical operations and support and gradually moved into owning end-to-end program delivery, giving me a strong understanding of both the technical and business sides of execution. I enjoy bringing structure to complex problems, aligning engineering, product, and business teams, and driving initiatives from planning through rollout. My experience includes payment gateway integrations, vendor management, stakeholder communication, risk management, and large-scale operational programs. Hands-on with SQL, Python, Java, and analytics tools, I like getting into the data to understand problems and make informed decisions. Open to Technical Program Management and Technical Account Management opportunities.
