PMP

Professional Development PMI-PMP (In Progress)

With over 10 years of enterprise experience, I specialize in closing the gap between what business leaders envision and what technical teams can build - translating ambiguous requirements into precise, actionable specifications that ship on time.

My background spans Salesforce & Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, ERP modernization, API validation, Agile delivery, and regulatory compliance. I have supported multi-million dollar initiatives across Cox Communications, AIG, Assurant, AGCO Corporation, and Safe-Guard Products - consistently delivering at a 98% on-time rate while reducing defect cycles by up to 40%.

I don't just document requirements - I architect the process that turns complex, high-stakes business needs into reliable, scalable technology, whether that's a life-safety E911 system or a fraud mitigation engine protecting millions of customers.
