Merve I.

Senior Technical Project Manager with 15+ years of experience across software engineering, fintech, and investment management. I specialize in delivering complex IT and digital transformation projects in regulated environments, working closely with cross-functional teams, engineering departments, and external vendors.

My background combines hands-on software development experience with senior project leadership in the financial services industry. I have successfully led large-scale initiatives involving trading systems, payment platforms, and banking infrastructure while ensuring strict compliance with regulatory, security, and audit requirements.

Currently based in Berlin, I support organizations in driving end-to-end project delivery — from requirements definition and technical analysis to stakeholder alignment, implementation, and production rollout.

I bring strong expertise in:

• Technical Project & Delivery Management

• Agile / Scrum project environments

• Fintech, investment management and trading platforms

• Vendor and outsourcing oversight

• Stakeholder management across business and engineering teams

• Regulatory and security-sensitive IT environments

• Product requirements, functional analysis and UAT coordination

With a background as a software engineer and business analyst, I act as a strong bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders. I am particularly effective in complex environments where technology, product strategy and operational processes intersect.

I am available for freelance Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager or Transformation projects and can support both international and Berlin-based teams.
