The Role
Led the end-to-end delivery of mission-critical software solutions for global banking and insurance clients. I managed the full lifecycle of multi-million-pound implementations, coordinating between internal engineering teams and external stakeholders to ensure functional alignment. My focus was on providing strategic architecture that bridged the gap between complex business requirements and robust, scalable technical solutions.
