Strong Junior Project Manager
LinkedIn Profile

I’m a strong junior Project Manager with over two years of hands-on experience guiding small
cross-functional teams through healthcare, crypto, and web-development projects. I’ve helped
introduce and refine Agile practices, keep stakeholders aligned, and streamline workflows using
tools like Jira, Trello, and Google Drive. Recently I earned a Microsoft Dynamics 365 certification
and completed an intensive PM bootcamp, sharpening my skills in estimation, risk management,
and clear communication. I bring resilience, emotional intelligence, and a practical, results-
oriented mindset to every project.

Work Experience
Junior Project Manager
Gotoinc — UpWork 5-Star Web Development Agency gotoinc.co
March 2024 – August 2024
Coordinated 6-month lifecycle of QliqSoft (outstaff HIPAA platform): managed administrative coordination:
tracked MS Teams check-ins, escalated vacation/day-off coverage, and onboarded replacement resources
Tracked daily plans/summaries for QliqSoft: ensured the team posted morning and evening updates via MS Teams
and handled time-off scheduling to maintain uninterrupted support
Facilitated client communications: organized regular status calls, captured and shared key points, and maintained a
concise Monday-by-noon progress report template in Google Docs
Conducted effort estimation: drafted the initial WBS in Google Sheets for project scoping, refined estimates with the
team under TL guidance, and finalized them before contract sign-off
Organized Agile ceremonies: introduced daily stand-ups with mandatory summaries, ran monthly backlog
refinement sessions, held ad-hoc mid-sprint syncs, and facilitated retrospectives every 2–3 sprints
Configured Trello boards & docs: created meeting agendas, updated Definition of Done/Ready templates, enforced
board hygiene, and structured Google Drive folders for clarity
Led weekly Sales & HR meetings and templating: prepared meeting agendas and notes when assigned, and
contributed to refining internal client-facing document templates for improved consistency
Coordinated Gototeam portal redesign: led requirement gathering and new UI mockup for an internal check-in/wiki
portal over a 3-month design phase; development was paused as engineers were reallocated
Supported coordination of four smaller client projects: applied the same Agile processes and reporting standards;
covering multiple landing pages, design initiatives, and a standalone web app — to ensure consistent delivery quality.

Project Manager
MarketMaking Pro — Crypto Product Company marketmaking.pro
June 2023 – November 2023
Coordinated four parallel projects (Trust Portal, NFT store, Trading Bots landing pages, main site) under CTO
guidance, working directly with Product Owners on priorities.
Organized bi-weekly PO syncs to translate high-level requests into clear Jira tickets and Google Docs specs for
two-person dev teams, reducing mid-sprint clarifications
Introduced and enforced daily stand-ups with mandatory summaries if missed; held backlog refinement and
estimation sessions every two weeks, plus ad-hoc mid-sprint syncs as needed
Configured Jira Kanban boards with custom fields (Original Estimate, Time Spent) and issue types (Development,
Bugfix, Support); maintained board hygiene.

Ensured developers logged time in Jira; analyzed logs in Tempo to spot workload imbalance (e.g., junior VueJS dev
overtasked) and informed CTO for fair redistribution
Implemented a lightweight Communication Plan: tagged responsible parties in Telegram for urgent issues, ran ad-
hoc meetings, and held bi-weekly stakeholder syncs to surface blockers
Coordinated urgent environment access requests by liaising with DevOps/engineers and updating the team,
ensuring uninterrupted operations without downtime
Supported QA recruiting by drafting role requirements and joining interviews with HR/CTO; learned that early
communication and clear documentation are essential for process stability.

January 2022 – March 2023
Assisted in requirement gathering and documentation for 15 projects (financial platforms on Laravel, 

e-commerce on WordPress/Shopify), each lasting ~2–3 months: worked via account managers to draft technical tasks
and clarified nuances directly with development teams of up to 5 people
Facilitated ~15 Agile meetings under Senior PM guidance: daily stand-ups, backlog planning, reviews, and one
retrospective; took detailed notes and updated documentation in Confluence and Google Drive
Participated in maintaining Agile (Scrumban) processes in Jira, Confluence, and Slack: helped coordinate
deadlines, track task statuses, record team decisions, and observed Tempo usage for time tracking.
Coordinated urgent blockers and access requests: during off-hours (23:00+), organized granting or revoking
environment access for developers or clients to ensure uninterrupted client operations
Worked directly with designers and developers: communicated and clarified requirements, updated task notes,
tracked UI alignment with Figma mockups, and facilitated feedback loops under Senior PM direction
Observed and analyzed optimization opportunities: familiarized myself with Jira Automation and Tempo potential,
and discussed backlog template standardization ideas with TL and PM.
