Technical Program Management and Leadership

Technical Program Management. Its the craft of solving problems that come from scaled execution of strategically important initiatives.

That's a mouth-full! But it just boils down to the fact that TPM's get big complex things done.

Having spent a decade in various tech roles, I am able to successfully navigate the complex interdependencies of large initiatives. I practice the core skills of planning, stakeholder management, risk management, communication management, dependency management, system design, and leadership.

These can all be summed up in what I call The TPM Craft Framework: Program Management, Technical Versatility, and Leadership. In my newsletter (The TPM Craft), I regularly dive deep into those topics.

Outside of my 9-5 I spend time with my family, read books, write, exercise, watch movies....etc. No major special hobbies, mostly just family time.

I may not know everything, but I can learn anything.

For my TL;DR friends:

I help people become leaders. My work includes coaching, strategizing, and sparking ideas. I pull from experience working at two fortune 5 companies and a couple start-ups. Main strengths: ideation and discernment. I'm always up for connecting and exploring new ideas.

The longer version:

I specialize in leadership development for aspiring leaders. Whether you are just starting your career or a rising star, I can help you multiply your impact.

In the last 5 years, I have worked with software engineers, data engineers, and even reservoir engineers  to discover and maximize their potential.  What have been the results? Promotions to architect, lead developer, product owner, release train engineer, etc.

I am driven by the idea "hard skills get you hired, but soft skills get you promoted."

I'm currently building teams and developing future leaders in Bengaluru, India. I love working with passionate, innovative people who dream big and work hard to deliver great results.

Developing leaders is an ongoing process. It requires passion and continuous improvement. Keep investing in yourself!
