Lead concurrent engagements for US companies through Upwork, with 5-star client ratings and repeat business: a clinical genomics SaaS startup, a website management agency, a product company, a project management consultancy and a creative agency. Experience and knowledge built on these engagements:
Concurrent US-client engagements through Upwork
- Clinical SaaS delivery and HIPAA-regulated data (clinical genomics startup, 2025 to present, Technical Project Manager and Scrum Master): lead delivery of a clinical decision-support platform with a distributed team of engineers, designers, AI specialists and QA; own the clinical rulebook as the single source of truth that turns clinical and genomic language into technical requirements; run sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, retrospectives and Friday executive demos with clinical stakeholders.
- Technical transitions and contractor oversight (same engagement): coordinated a PostgreSQL migration and the handover from a departing third-party front-end team without losing sprint velocity; manage contractor performance against committed estimates with Clockify reports, weekly variance flags and path-to-green plans.
- AI-augmented project management (across engagements): AI onboarding prompts and continuity systems (Claude) so project context survives long engagements; AI-assisted documentation, release notes, QA planning and hiring materials; Lovable and Figma AI for prototypes; Zapier, Make and n8n for workflow automation.
