My expertise spans fintech, e-commerce, and financial planning domains, where I have successfully streamlined workflows and optimized operational efficiency. As a technical leader, I focus on strategic people management, fostering innovation cultures, and pioneering AI adoption initiatives that deliver measurable business value.
