Project Management & Client Delivery

Project Management

Requirements → work breakdown → milestone plan, with explicit scope and change control.
Steering-ready status reporting: decisions and risks, not activity logs.
Delivery to fixed external deadlines — regulators and live trading hours don't move.

Customer Success

A portfolio of long-term banking clients — engagements that started as a single review grew into multi-year programs.
Renewals and expansions earned through delivery; references from finished projects, not pitches.
Staying engaged after go-live: support models, training and the next problem on the client's list.

Forward-Deployed

Embedded with the client's own teams, on-site or as their remote counterpart.
The bridge between the client and the quants: business and regulatory needs translated into precise technical tasks — and results translated back.
Tools implemented inside the client's environment, with their people trained to run them.

Program Lead — Quant Research Program, delivered with an AI agent team

Private Platform — Remote

2025 – Present

Ran a ~70-strategy research program where AI agents implement and independently review every task — the PM artifacts are the system: schema-validated handoffs, run-state ledgers, per-strategy RUNS.md logs.
Escalation policy encoded, not improvised: after two failed develop+review rounds an instructor role rewrites the task or parks it with a question a human answers in one message — parked work never blocks the batch.
Budget management as tiering: light / standard / critical model tiers per task, heavy capacity serialized, narrow-checklist reviews for template repeats.
Formal go-live gate series (data audit → bias review → freeze → parity → order layer → replay) with defect ledgers per gate.

Project Manager & Lead Developer — IBKR/AWS Trading Stack (solo)

Private Trading Client — Remote

2026 – Present

Ran the engagement end-to-end: requirements workshops with the client, delivery plan in Jira, architecture, production rollout and handover.
Milestones sequenced around the client's live trading hours — every deployment window planned with a rollback path; zero trading interruptions across the migration.
Weekly demos and written status; scope changes went through an explicit change log, never silent drift.
Acceptance defined as evidence, not opinion: per-milestone smoke tests and a daily reconciliation report the client reads without me.

Project Manager & Lead Developer — Sierra Chart Studies (solo)

Private Trading Client — Remote

2025 – Present

Product-style delivery for a paying trading community: feature requests triaged with the client in Jira, releases gated on client sign-off.
Managed two release tracks — a tuning build for the study owner and a locked production build for members — so experiments never leaked to paying users.
Designed support into the product: members email a one-file diagnostic report instead of screenshots, cutting support round-trips per issue.

Project Manager & Lead Developer — Discord/Sierra Access (solo)

Private Trading Client — Remote

2025

Turned a fuzzy ask ("stop managing member access by hand") into a scoped three-integration delivery with a fixed timeline, tracked in Jira.
Shipped self-service onboarding for community members and automatic revocation on churn — the manual process disappeared entirely.
Wrote the runbook and handed over operations; the system has run without me since.

Project Manager & Lead Developer — Algo Platform (solo)

Private Project — Remote

2022 – 2025

Phased roadmap where every phase shipped something usable on its own: data/charting layer → strategy analytics → live execution → ML research.
Solo PM discipline over three years: backlog in Jira, milestone demos, and scope cut deliberately when research showed a dead end — sunk cost never drove the plan.
Delivered against a moving target (live markets) by separating stable infrastructure from experimental strategy work.

Project Manager & Lead Developer — Property Automation (solo)

Remote Property Management — Ljubljana / Remote

2022 – Present

Owns an operations-critical system end-to-end: guests arrive whether the software works or not, so reliability is a delivery requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Coordinated five external parties — channel manager, smart-lock vendor, invoicing platform, cleaning service and the national guest registry — into one automated workflow, backlog in Jira.
Planned and executed a full serverless re-platform onto AWS around live guest bookings, with zero disruption (see the Cloud Compute page).

Project Manager & Lead Developer — Venue Camera Systems (solo)

Koren Sports d.o.o. — Slovenia / Austria / Multiple Venues

2021 – Present

Ran a multi-venue hardware + software rollout: pilot venue first, then staged expansion — every on-site risk discovered once, at the pilot, tracked in Jira.
Coordinated hardware vendors, venue operations staff and commissioning windows so installs never blocked a running attraction.
Designed the support model for remote sites up front — watchdogs, VPN access and alerting — so issues are fixed before the next visitor run, not after a complaint.

Co-Founder — Client Programs, Customer Success & Forward-Deployed Delivery

Econlab d.o.o. — Slovenia / Ireland

2018 – 2023

Co-founded a risk-advisory consultancy and owned the client side of the business: sales, scoping, staffing, delivery — and the relationship after go-live.
Customer success with banking clients: engagements that began as a single model validation grew into multi-year modeling programs; renewals and expansions were earned through delivery, and new work came from references, not cold pitching.
Forward-deployed by design: embedded with each bank's risk team as their day-to-day counterpart — I translated their regulatory and business needs into precise tasks for our quant team, and brought the quants' results back as decisions the bank could sign off.
Delivered models and tooling into the bank's own environment, with the bank's people trained to run and defend them in front of auditors and the regulator.
Program lead for IRB models at Ireland's second-largest bank and at Slovenian banks — scope, work breakdown, milestone plan and sign-off; led teams of 5+, steering-ready reporting in Jira.

2015 – 2017

Project manager for IFRS 9 / ECL and risk engagements at a Big Four firm; led teams of 5+ consultants, quants and analysts.
Owned work plans, budgets and timelines across parallel audit and advisory workstreams — resource planning, quality review, profitability, tracked in Jira.
Client communication from working level up to CFO and steering committee; repeat engagements won on delivery, season after season.

Financial Risk Manager — Delivery & Reporting Cycles

Gorenjska Banka d.d. — Slovenia

2013 – 2015

Coordinated recurring regulatory reporting cycles across finance, risk and IT — fixed external deadlines, no slippage: the "client" was the regulator.
Developed and delivered credit, liquidity and market risk models to those timelines.
Automated the reporting workflow (Oracle SQL, VBA) so each cycle got more predictable and less manual than the last.
