I help SaaS and startup teams fix delivery issues like missed deadlines, messy Jira workflows, unclear requirements, and unpredictable sprint execution while using AI-powered workflows to reduce operational overhead and save on hourly costs. With 9 years of experience in the software industry, I've led web and mobile products from idea to launch. I combine structured agile execution with AI-assisted processes to help teams ship faster without increasing headcount. I also specialise in helping startups go to market faster and more efficiently. **👤 Experience & Background** I've worked closely with founders, developers, and QA teams to bring clarity and predictability to fast-moving products across healthcare, US real estate, HRM, communication, and marketplace domains. I integrate AI tooling at the workflow level to reduce friction and accelerate delivery cycles. **🏗️ Team Leadership** Led cross-functional teams of up to 18 members delivering enterprise-level SaaS platforms for the US market, managing roadmap execution, sprint predictability, and release planning.
