Project Manager
I'm a proactive and ambitious Project Manager in the IT sector, passionate about Agile delivery and user-centered products. I bring a positive, results-driven mindset and a hands-on approach.

With 6 years of professional experience, I bring loyalty, accountability, and positivity to my work. With 2 years of experience in the IT sector, I bring strong client communication skills, a user-centered UI/UX perspective, well-defined user stories, and a strong focus on team well-being to support consistent, goal-driven delivery.

Build client trust through transparent communication on delivery capabilities, while honoring commitments and aligning with business needs.
I transform business requirements into well-defined user stories, keeping the backlog organized to reduce ambiguity so the team can focus on delivery. Team clarity drives client clarity: an organized sprint helps to maintain client confidence.
Through continuous testing and early validation, I help identify issues proactively and ensure that what's delivered truly meets expectations and quality standards.
I ensure bugs are clearly documented, tracked, prioritized, and communicated so nothing gets overlooked and teams can resolve issues efficiently.
Contribute to a healthy team dynamic through a positive mindset and a touch of humor, even in high-pressure situations.

Vanessa is an exceptionally passionate and dedicated professional with a strong commitment to high-quality service delivery. She consistently treats every customer with respect and goes above and beyond to ensure they receive the best possible experience. Highly personable and an excellent communicator, Vanessa effectively connects different parts of the business to drive collaboration and achieve outstanding outcomes for clients. She is process-oriented, yet adaptable—able to navigate changing environments with confidence and clarity. I had the pleasure of partnering with Vanessa on a new maintenance‑driven initiative that we jointly led. Her contribution was invaluable in getting the project established and operating successfully. Vanessa brings an impressive level of energy, enthusiasm, and initiative to any organisation. She actively seeks opportunities for improvement and works diligently to deliver positive change.
Support Tech Lead
I had the pleasure of working together with Vanessa, where she held the role of Project Manager and I worked as a Front-End Developer using Angular. Throughout our collaboration, Vanessa consistently demonstrated strong leadership, excellent communication skills, and a clear ability to organize and manage complex projects. She was always well-prepared, proactive, and attentive to both technical and business requirements. Her ability to coordinate between developers, stakeholders, and clients made our work smoother and more efficient. Based on my experience working with her, I highly recommend Vanessa. I am confident that she would be a valuable asset to any team and would bring dedication, structure, and strong leadership to any project she is involved in.
Full-Stack Developer
Working with Vanessa was great, she was learning fast and always kind when situations were a bit complicated. Also she handled a lot of volume work when needed, which is not easy task and also she was able to switch different roles in the team and learn new things pretty easily - I would recommend her to any team!
VueJS Developer
Vanessa is a highly effective communicator and a proactive, reliable team member. She collaborates naturally, contributes thoughtfully, and consistently demonstrates a positive, solution-oriented approach. Beyond her strong professional skills, Vanessa is genuinely a pleasure to work with — the kind of person who adds value not only through her work, but also through her presence in a team. I would gladly work with her again.
Talent Acquisition Manager
I worked together with Vanessa at Emergn. She brought a consistently positive attitude and a strong sense of empathy to her work, with a clear focus on creating a good experience for candidates. She was thoughtful in the way she asked questions, took care to craft clear and well-structured messages, and was genuinely invested in understanding user needs — even at that stage, she showed a strong inclination toward UI/UX and user-centred thinking. These qualities translate naturally into her current focus as a Junior Project Manager, where attention to clarity, collaboration, and user experience are key. Vanessa is motivated, reflective, and driven to do meaningful work, and I believe she will continue to grow and add value in a project-focused environment.
