Build
Software engineering gave me the technical foundation: how systems are built, how changes move through them and where seemingly small decisions can have downstream effects.
ABOUT
From building software to leading the systems around it.
I’m a Technical Program Manager who likes understanding how things work — and helping teams turn that understanding into delivery.
THE THREAD
I started by building software. I moved into leading the work around it.
My early career was in software engineering, working across development and support lifecycles and learning how systems behave beyond the feature on the screen.
Over time, my role expanded from building and supporting software to coordinating the work around it — requirements, teams, dependencies, risks, vendors, clients and delivery decisions.
Today, that technical foundation shapes how I work as a Technical Program Manager. I don't need to design every system myself. I do want to understand enough to ask useful questions, spot dependencies and keep technical decisions connected to the outcome.
WHAT MATTERS TO ME
Clarity.
Context.
Follow-through.
Context.
Follow-through.
Making complicated programs easier to understand and easier to move.
A CAREER IN THREE SHIFTS
The role changed. The questions changed with it.
Lead
Project and team leadership broadened the view — requirements, people, vendors, timelines, risks and the work required to get different groups moving together.
Connect
Today I work at the intersection of technology and execution, connecting engineering decisions with delivery, business priorities and outcomes.
TODAY
What I bring to a technical program.
Technical context
Enough technical depth to participate meaningfully in engineering conversations.
Delivery discipline
A clear view of milestones, dependencies, risks and what needs to happen next.
Cross-functional leadership
Connecting engineering, product, security, clients and leadership around decisions and outcomes.
WHAT I’M CURIOUS ABOUT NOW
AI is changing the work. I want to understand what that means for the people leading it.
My current learning focus is around AI-enabled products, generative AI, AI orchestration and agentic workflows, data quality and evaluation, governance and the program-management questions that come with them.
That curiosity is also why I write — to work through technical ideas, delivery problems and the questions that sit between them.

Outside technology, I write and make art.
I published Double Booked: Sleepless, Speechless and Slightly Sane, a memoir about motherhood, twins and the chaos in between. I also run The Art Balcao, a creative space for painting, texture and other hands-on experiments from Goa.
