Summary

Technical Project Manager specialized in iGaming operations, platform delivery, and cross functional execution.

Built hands on experience from first line support through technical account management into project leadership, which gave me a practical understanding of how gaming platforms operate across technical, operational, and business layers.

Focused on structured delivery, stakeholder alignment, scalable processes, and operational clarity inside fast-moving iGaming environments.

Where I Operate

Tech Operations

Keeping platforms running smoothly day to day, with clear processes and reliable handovers.

Tech Support

Investigating issues end to end and turning every incident into a cleaner workflow.

Account Management

Translating client needs into clear technical plans and keeping the relationship steady.

Project Delivery

Running cross-functional projects from idea to launch with honest status and predictable cadence.

Why I Fit iGaming

Operational clarity

I keep things clear when operations move fast. Everyone knows what we are doing, who owns it, and what comes next.

Delivery ownership

I take projects from the first conversation through go-live and into the weeks after. Things actually get finished.

Stakeholder alignment

I keep operators, product, engineering and compliance moving in the same direction with honest updates and shared context.

Scalable processes

Light processes that hold up as the team grows. Built from real platform experience, not borrowed from a template.

Technical ↔ business communication

I turn platform reality into something the business can decide on, and business goals into specs engineering can build.

Structured execution

Calm under pressure, steady cadence, very few surprises. The kind of delivery iGaming teams can lean on.
