About

I bridge the gap between business goals and technical delivery — translating complex requirements into shipped products, keeping cross-functional teams aligned, and ensuring every release lands with quality. With 4+ years of experience across SaaS platforms as a Business Analyst and Quality Analyst, I've owned the full delivery lifecycle: requirement gathering, functional documentation, sprint ceremonies, UAT coordination, defect tracking, and stakeholder management — all in fast-paced Agile environments. What I bring to the table: End-to-end SaaS delivery ownership across Agile sprints (Jira, Confluence, Zephyr) SQL-driven data validation and backend analysis (SSMS) UAT & SIT coordination with internal and external stakeholders Cross-domain experience: HealthTech (Carelon/Elevance Health) + B2B SaaS AI-augmented workflows — certified in Generative AI Foundations (UpGrad × Microsoft) McKinsey Forward Program — Agile Leadership & Digital Problem Solving MBA Finance @ Jain University (CGPA 9.11) I'm actively targeting Technical Program Manager and Product Manager roles at high-growth SaaS and FinTech companies where I can own delivery, lead cross-functional teams, and grow into strategic product leadership. 📍 Hyderabad, India | Open to Remote & Hybrid opportunities
