In my current role, I work on multiple projects across different domains, such as software and hardware changes, third party vendor integration, and technological trends. I collaborate with product management, key stakeholders, third party vendors, and the delivery team, to ensure all requirements are well understood, captured, and agreed. I create user stories and acceptance criteria for new enhancements, and clearly translate them to the software developers and testers. I also maintain an awareness of the technical architecture and the business objectives of the projects. Some of the skills that I use and develop in my role are social networking, editorial, and new media.
