Abel Atilaw

Your software project is behind schedule. Your dev team is misaligned. Stakeholders want answers. I fix that. I'm a Technical Project Manager with deep roots in software development. I've been in the trenches with dev teams, not just managing timelines on a spreadsheet. I understand your codebase discussions, your sprint retrospectives, your CI/CD blockers, and your stakeholder politics. What I deliver: → End-to-end software project delivery using Agile/Scrum frameworks → Remote dev team coordination across time zones (I'm EAT/UTC+3, ideal overlap for US & EU clients) → Jira setup, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and velocity tracking → Stakeholder communication and executive reporting → SaaS product launches from MVP to market → AI/ML project coordination — managing teams building LLM integrations, automation pipelines, and data products → Cloud migration project management (AWS, Azure, GCP) → Digital transformation roadmaps and delivery → Process improvement — from chaotic to systematic My background includes: Software development projects · Agile/Scrum · Jira · Stakeholder management · Product delivery · Team leadership · Process improvement · Remote collaboration Results clients hire me for: ✓ Projects that ship on time and within budget ✓ Dev teams that stop missing deadlines ✓ Stakeholders who finally feel informed (not surprised) ✓ Clean Jira boards and sprint ceremonies that actually work ✓ Clear, documented processes that survive team changes I specialize in: → SaaS companies scaling their engineering teams → Startups running their first structured Agile sprints → Companies integrating AI tools into existing workflows → Cloud migration projects with multiple vendor dependencies → Projects that have gone off the rails and need a recovery plan Tools I live in: Jira, Confluence, Linear, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Miro, Figma (stakeholder reviews). Why clients choose me over other PMs: I come from a technical background. I've worked alongside developers. I don't just "manage". I understand what's being built, I can translate technical complexity to business stakeholders, and I proactively identify risks before they become crises. Ready to bring structure to your chaos? Send me a message and let's talk about your project. I'll give you a free 30-minute discovery call to assess where you are and what you need.
