About Charitha S

I am a Technical Project Manager with an MS in Computer Science who thrives at the intersection of \"What should we build?\" and \"How do we get it delivered?\" A builder at heart, I believe the most elegant codebase only matters if the product ships on schedule, within scope, and solves the right business problem.From the Codebase to the Roadmap:My career began in the weeds of native mobile app development, mastering Swift, Kotlin, and mobile architecture. As I progressed from Senior Developer to Mobile Tech Lead and eventually Technical Product Owner, I learned that successful apps aren\'t just coded—they are strategically prioritized and flawlessly executed.Bridging Engineering, Business, and AI:Today, I combine those engineering \"battle scars\" with formal training, including the Google Professional Certificate in Project Management and Google AI Professional. I bridge the gap between technical reality and strategic objectives. I speak fluent \"Engineer,\"\"Designer,\" and \"Stakeholder,\" allowing me to translate complex requirements into actionable technical tasks without losing anything in translation. As AI reshapes the industry, I am actively expanding my expertise to manage next-generation, AI-integrated projects.Proven Impact & Value:Full-Cycle Delivery: Architected and led the development of native mobile apps from requirement discovery to App Store deployment. Managed technical debt and optimized sprint planning to improve release velocity by 15% while maintaining elite UI/UX quality.The Technical Bridge: Directed complex API integrations and high-traffic database projects. I provide realistic engineering estimations, identify dependencies early, and remove blockers before they derail timelines.Quality & Efficiency: Spearheaded end-to-end delivery, reducing post-launch bug reports by 20% through the implementation of rigorous automated testing protocols and clear technical documentation.Core Competencies:Leadership & Management: Technical Project Management (TPM), Agile/Scrum, Roadmap Strategy, Sprint Planning, Risk Mitigation, PRDs, Stakeholder Management, Resource Allocation.Technical Foundation: MS in Computer Science, Mobile Architecture (iOS/Android), API Integration, Git/Version Control, App Store Deployment, iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), Android (Java, Kotlin).AI & Continuous Learning: Google AI Essentials (actively pursuing further AI integration coursework), Google Certified PM.Let\'s connect if you\'re looking for a leader who can manage the timeline, align stakeholders, and actually understand the pull requests.
