QA Specialist & Technical Project Manager with a Computer Science degree from FAST (NUCES) and 3+ years shipping web, mobile, and AI-driven products for startups across the US, Singapore, the Netherlands, and Saudi markets. I've delivered MVPs from zero, rescued projects other PMs walked away from, and translated between non-technical founders and engineering teams without anything getting lost in the middle. Recent work: - Took a US waste management MVP from a chaotic JIRA board to a structured roadmap and shipped it on schedule, coordinating across 5+ time zones - Took over a derailed medicine and lab-test web/mobile app mid-project, ran root-cause analysis, restructured the backlog, and got delivery back on track - Managed an OpenAI-powered AI Interview Prep system from inception to launch - Led requirement engineering for an LLM-based medical research project, including ontologies and full functional/non-functional documentation - Validated Stripe payment flows for a property rental platform and a Canadian compliance/criminal-record-check app - Ran ideation, user flows, and wireframes for a Saudi expats social app, aligning a distributed design team on product vision What you get when you hire me: - A clear roadmap and a clean backlog within week one - Weekly written progress updates, no surprises, no "we'll see at the demo" - A PM who pushes back on scope creep and asks the questions your engineers won't - Hands-on QA when it matters, I've run UAT, regression testing, API testing in Postman, and Stripe payment validation myself Tools: Jira, ClickUp, Notion, Azure DevOps, Slack, Postman, Miro, Figma, Brevo Strengths: Agile/Scrum, product roadmapping, MVP scoping, requirement engineering, backlog rescue, stakeholder alignment, UAT & QA, cross-timezone team leadership, technical translation between founders and engineers If your product is stuck, unclear scope, slipping timelines, or a backlog no one understands, let's talk. 30 minutes on a call and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
