Experience

Leading digital programme delivery and governance for large-scale industrial construction projects in Abu Dhabi within the ADNOC supply chain ecosystem — acting as product owner and delivery lead for structured automation initiatives that replace manual engineering workflows with governed, auditable digital processes.

• Led programme-level digital coordination across multiple active Abu Dhabi project packages — aligning engineering leadership, project managers, and senior stakeholders on roadmap priorities, delivery milestones, and governance requirements.
• Defined and owned the digital programme roadmap — prioritising initiatives against project KPIs, managing structured delivery governance, and ensuring controlled rollout aligned to programme timelines and risk frameworks.
• Established structured governance and reporting frameworks across engineering data systems — standardising validation and QA processes to reduce risk exposure and improve data integrity on time-critical project deliverables.
• Engaged directly with project and engineering leadership to identify, scope, and evaluate digitalisation opportunities — translating programme requirements into governed, scalable solutions with defined delivery criteria and success metrics.
• Automation tools in daily use by 30–50 engineers across active Abu Dhabi industrial projects — measurably reducing manual data-handling effort on time-critical deliverables.
• Standardised extract-validate-export workflows replaced multi-step manual review cycles, accelerating engineering data readiness across project packages.

Agile Product Owner for a globally deployed enterprise engineering software platform used by Oil & Gas operators, EPCs, and industrial enterprises across 50+ countries — owning the product backlog, roadmap, and end-to-end delivery of document intelligence, data automation, and engineering data management features.

• Owned the product backlog end-to-end — writing and refining user stories and epics, prioritising features against business value and client requirements, and managing sprint delivery with cross-functional engineering teams using JIRA and Azure DevOps.
• Led sprint planning, backlog grooming, sprint reviews, and retrospectives across multiple Agile release cycles — maintaining velocity, managing dependencies, and ensuring features met acceptance criteria before release.
• Defined POC scope with external vendors and EPC partners, evaluated solution deliverables against requirements, and managed structured rollout into regulated client environments.
• Worked directly with enterprise clients and stakeholders to gather requirements, validate feature delivery, and translate complex technical constraints into clear, actionable user stories.
• Designed and specified AI-enhanced document intelligence workflows — LLM-assisted extraction, hybrid validation pipelines, and structured data management for demanding industrial environments.
• Managed product quality end-to-end: defined test scope, coordinated QA cycles, and owned patch and hotfix release cadence for enterprise clients with zero-tolerance for data errors.
• Document automation features reduced manual review effort by 80% — validated with enterprise Oil & Gas clients.
• Automated validation pipelines improved data quality metrics by 85% in controlled client environments.
• Recognised with 3× Performance Excellence Awards and 2× Project Excellence Awards for delivery on critical product milestones.
• Features shipped to global enterprise clients across Oil & Gas, Power, Chemicals, and Industrial sectors — including UAE and Middle East operations.

Built hands-on domain expertise across P&ID development, SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI), instrument data sheets, engineering document control, and EPC project data workflows — the technical foundation that informs how I evaluate, scope, and govern digital delivery in industrial environments.

• Delivered instrument data sheets, equipment lists, and technical documentation for Oil & Gas EPC projects — developing deep fluency in how industrial data is structured, reviewed, approved, and handed over across project lifecycles.
• Developed expertise in SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI) and engineering data management systems — grounding that directly informs how I evaluate and govern digital programme delivery in industrial environments.
