Certified in a comprehensive range of agile frameworks (PMP®, PSPO™-I, PSM™-I, PAL™, PSU™-I, PSFS™, PSD™-I), I excel at Agile transformations, leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products at scale. My expertise lies in building robust product roadmaps, streamlining development workflows, and ensuring clarity and efficiency through well-defined acceptance criteria. My certifications underscore my mastery of Agile methodologies, empowering me to deliver user-centric solutions that exceed business goals.

⇢ Innovative R&D Leadership: Spearheaded R&D initiatives in machine learning and AI, introducing groundbreaking solutions in proptech that drove operational efficiency and business growth.

I am driven by a passion for innovation, constantly seeking ways to bridge the gap between technology and user experience. My mission is to harness the power of AI, ML, and agile frameworks to craft products that lead the market and deliver lasting value to users and stakeholders alike.
