  • Identify process improvements to optimize team productivity and software quality.
  • Work directly with clients to gather requirements, propose technical solutions, manage project execution, and oversee delivery from design through deployment and post-release support.
  • Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and independently drive projects to successful completion.
