Technical Program Manager Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, 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.
- The team mapped 63 dependencies across identity, billing, and data teams for a platform migration; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team made the committed output reliably available when downstream work needed it; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team defined readiness criteria, rollback owners, and decision windows for 11 launches; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team reduced repeat incidents from the same failure mode; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, owned a technical dependency register using integration readiness tests, resolved mismatched API delivery dates and completed the release decision packet for stakeholders.
- Under supervision, designed risk-management checkpoints using explicit requirements and rollback evidence, reduced late dependency escalations from 13 to 5 across two delivery cycles.
Selected project
Technical Program Manager — independent case study
Intern project team member
Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, 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.
- As a second supervised exercise, 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.
- Under supervision, the team created a weekly architecture decision log with unresolved tradeoffs and deadlines; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
- 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.
