Expression of Interest 

I have recently relocated to London and am looking for a career with an organization able to leverage my vast IT experience along with providing opportunities to further develop my technical and management skills. 

I possess 9 years of cross-domain IT experience ranging from complete software development life-cycle to system & business analysis, system integration, project management and ERP Consulting. My experience spans across domains like Retail, Manufacturing, E-Learning and Telecom.

My experience in be-spoke development spans across design and development of client-server & web-based applications; with strengths in OO analysis & design, database design, requirements analysis, client management and project management & planning.

As a project manager, I have managed teams & handled project delivery and resources. I am also trained on project management methodologies.

As a techno-functional consultant I have managed end-to-end ERP implementations involving teams at operational and management level.

I have strong quality assurance & configuration management background having worked with CMM Level-5 IT multinationals. 

My key strengths are an aptitude for quick learning, ability to quickly adapt to changing roles, participative leadership style, exemplary communication and inter-personal skills. These have equipped me to take up challenges in new areas.

Dealing with large clients & communicating with different levels in an organization are integral to my broad experience spectrum. 

Throughout my career, my crisis management & team management abilities have been appreciated. My ability to see the “big picture” along-with attention to details, allows me to foresee issues & resolve complex problems with IT implementations. My excellent inter-personal skills catalyze cooperation from multiple departments which is essential in large scale IT implementations. 

With my strong techno-functional and managerial capabilities coupled with inter-personal skills & fuelled by a “can-do” attitude, I am sure of a mutually beneficial association. 

Further details about my professional experience are available in the CV attached herewith.

Kindly note that I am fully qualified to work in the UK and do not require a work permit.

I look forward to an opportunity for further discussions and await a response from your end.
