About
Clear planning, steady delivery
I am an IT Project Manager with more than nine years of experience in information technology, including over eight years leading software projects across web, mobile, and business applications. My work spans the finance, healthcare, retail, and business software sectors, where I have delivered more than 20 projects for clients in several countries. I am a certified and process oriented manager who values clear planning, steady communication, and early attention to risk, so that teams stay aligned and clients always know where a project stands. I enjoy working closely with people from different backgrounds and time zones, and I take pride in providing a calm and dependable delivery experience. More recently, I have brought artificial intelligence into the way I plan, document, and deliver work, which allows my teams to move faster while keeping quality high.

My Process
How I take a project from first idea to final delivery
This is my own way of working, built over more than eight years and 20+ projects. It keeps things simple and clear, and it helps me deliver faster and with fewer surprises.
Understand first
I get clear on what you really need and what a good result looks like, before any work starts.
Plan in small steps
I break the work into small, clear pieces, each with an owner and a date, and set a realistic timeline and budget.
Keep it moving
Short, regular check-ins keep the team unblocked and everyone updated, so the work never quietly drifts.
Check as we go
I test the work early and often and compare it to the plan, so problems are caught while they are still small.
Deliver calmly
I plan the release well ahead of time, involve you throughout, and look back at what we can do even better next time.
Through every step: clear communication with everyone involved, and spotting risks early. That is what keeps a project calm and on time.
Based on my own experience delivering real projects.

How the budget is controlled
- Reporting
- Spending is reviewed and reported every two weeks.
- Approval
- Any spending above the agreed limit needs the client to approve it first.
- Change control
- Any change to the scope is costed and agreed before the work starts.
- Contingency
- A small reserve is kept for unexpected work and released only when needed.
