      As a Solutions Engineer in the Project Management department, I play a crucial role in bridging the gap between technical teams and the project team. 1. Designed and provided technical solutions that align with the project’s objectives for our tenders considering factors like scalability, security, and performance. 2. Worked closely with our Software Engineers at Broadspectrum Digital Payment to develop a project management dashboard that improved the department efficiency by 25%, ensuring an improved project oversight on very large projects. 3. Assisted Broadspectrum Digital Payment with the creation of project-related artifacts which were required by external telecom entities, significantly reducing project lags and dependencies on external parties and ensuring adherence to project timelines. These efforts contributed to closing our USSD and financial projects 50% faster. 4. Assisted in the testing and validation of project solutions to ensure they meet the project requirements and function as expected while translating complex technical concepts into understandable terms for non-technical stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aligned on the project’s goals. 5. Communicated and collaborated with stakeholders, including Executive Managers, Network Engineers, Software Engineers and Project Managers to gather and understand project requirements. Show less I served as an Associate Project Manager in the PM department for about a year 1. I played a pivotal role in accelerating tender completion timelines by streamlining processes such as tender document creation, equipment procurement and obtaining sign-off from stakeholders on FATs, PCNs, and Memos which resulted in a significant 2x improvement in delivery speed. 2. My contributions extended to optimizing project artifact and documentation organization, resulting in a 75% reduction in search times. This not only facilitated internal workflows but also eased the on-boarding process for new employees. 3. Contributed to the development of project plans, the identification and mitigation of technical risks that could impact the project’s success, offering contingency plans when necessary. 4. Assisted in preparing regular status reports for senior management and stakeholders 5. Leveraging the practical knowledge gained in project management, I effectively managed my time, enabling me to pursue and attain 3 professional training certifications which are the: i. Google Project Management Professional Certificate ii. ALX (ExploreAI) Data Science Professional Certification iii. Meta Database Engineer Professional CertificateThis diverse experience has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set and a commitment to continuous professional development. Show less
