SUMMARY
Delivery Manager with an engineering background and 6+ years across software delivery, project management, and hands-on iOS
development. I work across product companies, including GameDev and iGaming, driving end-to-end delivery — turning chaotic, high-
volume development into predictable, on-time releases through strong processes, high-performing teams, and AI-driven automation that
lowers cost. Equally comfortable discussing strategy with stakeholders and architecture with engineers. Open to remote / relocation.
