I specialize in requirements gathering, stakeholder engagement, Agile delivery, and risk management, turning complex needs into clear, functional specifications. Alongside my BA/PM expertise, I bring strong QA skills — from manual and automated testing to UAT coordination — ensuring every solution meets the highest quality standards.

 

With hands-on experience in agentic AI projects, I’ve leveraged tools like ChatGPT to streamline documentation, process automation, and workflow improvements. This allows me to deliver modern, efficient, and scalable solutions that create real business value.
