Technical Program Manager

Mar 2022 - now

  • Mapped technical dependencies across service teams and agreed delivery checkpoints with stakeholders; used interface readiness and test evidence to identify the critical path rather than collecting status colors.
  • Aligned Agile and Scrum planning across teams for a shared launch, separating sprint commitments from external dependencies; escalated a blocked approval with options and a clear decision deadline.
  • Turned a multi-team technical milestone into interface owners and integration gates; tested the handoff between teams and escalated unresolved dependencies with explicit impact on the launch date.
  • Owned a technical dependency register using integration readiness tests, resolved mismatched API delivery dates and completed the release decision packet for stakeholders.
  • Designed risk-management checkpoints using explicit requirements and rollback evidence, reduced late dependency escalations from 13 to 5 across two delivery cycles.

Technical Program Manager

Jan 2019 - Feb 2022

  • Sequenced a 28-service protocol migration with compatibility checkpoints. Held the reliability gain through the next operating review.
  • Reviewed a delivered feature against acceptance criteria with design and engineering, documented the unresolved usability issue, and agreed whether it should block release or enter the next iteration.
  • Traced a late scope request to the underlying user need, compared it with the agreed release goal, and worked with delivery partners to split required behavior from a follow-up enhancement. Updated acceptance criteria before development continued.

Selected project

Technical Program Manager — independent case study

Project owner

Feb 2024 - Jun 2024

  • Created a weekly architecture decision log with unresolved tradeoffs and deadlines
  • Used a public product workflow to map the user problem, decision points and acceptance criteria; marked assumptions separately from observed behavior and prioritized an experiment before specifying a complete redesign.
  • Prepared a decision log showing alternatives, dependencies and the metric that would reverse the recommendation; walked through an exception path and updated the acceptance criteria when ownership was unclear.
  • Owned the independent prototype review using task-based acceptance criteria, resolved an ambiguous exception path and completed a test plan with an explicit stopping rule.
