About

MBA and B.Tech professional with hands-on project coordination experience across the full project lifecycle — planning, scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder communication — built through real ownership, not just theory. Owned a vendor-selection and digitization project end-to-end at a multi-unit business: negotiated pricing and terms across multiple vendors, defined scope and requirements, tracked cost and timeline through to closeout, and drove staff adoption. Participated in the full Agile project lifecycle (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) at a global financial-services client, and has been promoted into a team-leadership role — comfortable managing competing priorities, tracking action items, and keeping stakeholders informed without being asked.
