WORK EXPERIENCE

Experience on IT since my first lines of code back in 2003.

Project Manager
JAN 2016 - Present

Project Manager in the Customer Engagement Analytics team (part of Marketing) which is on charge on deploying heuristic and predictive analysis on customer’s information.
Our team consists of data scientist, data architects and product managers distributed all over the world: San Francisco, Boston, Singapore, Netherlands, India and Switzerland.
Big data technologies such as Hive, Amazon AWS, RedShift, QlikView, JavaScript, Marketo are essential to our projects.
My work as Project Manager, is to keep track and monitor the user stories, identify and mitigate possible risks, keep the communication channels open, conflict handling and politics, all this while applying Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.

Another hat that I wear (we use hats analogies) is the Portfolio Manager, where I help to organize around a hundred projects, verify its dependencies, business impact, complexity, resource allocation and timelines based on quarters and fiscal years.

Finally, this is an amazing experience! I learned (and keep learning) how to improve my methodologies and process while I quickly adapt to a challenging environment (Big Data) which has a strong presence in the market.
