Project Manager | Product Manager | Business Analyst | Technical PM

Hi, I’m a Project Manager, Product Manager, and Business Analyst with 5 years of experience helping SaaS, B2B, and digital product teams turn business goals into clear roadmaps, well-structured requirements, and predictable delivery. I work at the intersection of Project Management, Product Management, and Business Analysis - connecting stakeholders, developers, designers, QA engineers, customer success teams, and business owners. My focus is simple: define the right product scope, build clear processes, manage delivery, reduce risks, and make sure teams ship features that bring real business value. 🏆 What I bring - 5 years of Project Management, Product Management, and Business Analysis experience - 20+ delivered digital products across SaaS, B2B marketplaces, web platforms, and desktop apps. - Experience managing teams of developers, product designers, QA engineers, and customer-facing departments - Strong background in Agile Project Management, Scrum, Kanban, sprint planning, backlog management, and release planning - Hands-on work with roadmaps, product scope, technical specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, and stakeholder communication - Experience working directly with CEOs, CTOs, Product Owners, Customer Success, Customer Support, and engineering team - Clear communication, risk management, project scheduling, documentation, and delivery ownership 🔧 Core Skills Project Management: I manage full-cycle Project Management workflows from discovery and planning to delivery and release. This includes project scheduling, sprint planning, delivery tracking, risk management, team coordination, reporting, and process improvement. Product Management: I help define product roadmaps, prioritize features, shape MVP scope, analyze customer feedback, and align product decisions with business goals. I work with stakeholders to make sure Product Management decisions are practical, technically feasible, and valuable for users. Business Analysis: I translate business needs into structured requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, workflows, and technical specifications. My Business Analyst experience helps teams avoid unclear scope, missed requirements, and expensive rework. Agile Project Management: I organize Agile workflows using Scrum, Kanban, sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, demos, and release planning. I keep the process lightweight but structured enough for predictable delivery. Stakeholder Management: I communicate with business stakeholders, CEOs, CTOs, developers, designers, QA, Customer Success, and Customer Support teams. I make sure expectations, priorities, timelines, and risks are visible and aligned. 📦 Sample Outcomes • SaaS platform: managed a team of 5 developers, product designers, and QA engineers while building project processes, roadmaps, and product scope with the CEO and CTO. • Desktop app plugin: managed requirements clarification, delivery planning, client communication, risk assessment, structured testing, and budget. • B2B platform: Led discovery and redesign planning for an existing plugin and analytical platform. Documented user flows, functional requirements, open questions, and proposed improvements to guide development and support future product expansion. Coordinated alignment between business stakeholders, designers, and developers. 🧰 Tools and methods Project Management, Product Management, Business Analysis, Agile Project Management, Scrum, Kanban, Jira, Confluence, ClickUp, Trello, Notion, Roadmaps, Backlog Management, Sprint Planning, Project Scheduling, User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, Stakeholder Management, Risk Management, Communications, Product Discovery, MVP Planning, Technical Specifications, Release Planning, Web Development. ✅ What I deliver • Clear product roadmap and prioritized backlog • Structured user stories and acceptance criteria • Project Management process tailored to the team • Agile sprint planning, delivery tracking, and release coordination • Business Analysis documentation and technical specifications • Stakeholder communication and expectation management • Risk visibility, timeline control, and delivery reporting • Product Management support from discovery to launch 🤝 How I work I usually start by understanding the business goal, users, stakeholders, current process, team structure, and delivery risks. Then I organize requirements, define priorities, structure the backlog, set up communication flows, and help the team move from vague ideas to clear, shippable tasks. I believe strong Project Management is not just about meetings and status updates. It is about removing blockers, clarifying scope, protecting the team from chaos, and making sure each sprint moves the product closer to business value.
