Kailash Malav

Helping SaaS companies, startups, and enterprise teams deliver software faster, reduce delivery risk, and improve stakeholder visibility. 14+ years managing web, mobile, AI, SaaS, and enterprise software projects with distributed teams of up to 20+ engineers. What sets me apart: 🔹 AI-Assisted Project Management — I actively use AI tools and prompt engineering to generate sprint summaries, acceptance criteria, risk logs, and stakeholder reports in minutes, not hours. I design workflow automation strategies using n8n, JIRA, and GitHub APIs to eliminate repetitive overhead and keep teams focused on delivering value. 🔹 Product & Discovery — I run continuous discovery sessions, user story mapping workshops, and business requirement analysis to align teams before a single line of code is written. I collaborate closely with UX to ensure what ships matches what users actually need. 🔹 CI/CD & Release Discipline — I govern end-to-end pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) with clear Dev/QA/Prod environment strategies, quality gates, rollback plans, and post-release monitoring — so releases are events, not emergencies. 🔹 JIRA Administration — Advanced-level: custom workflows, webhooks, automation rules, custom fields, and screen schemes. I build the tooling that makes delivery visible and predictable. 🔹 Technical Depth — Hands-on background in Java, Python, Node.js, PHP, and modern frameworks. I've led AI/ML integration projects (RAG pipelines, LLM tooling, AWS Bedrock) and architected solutions on AWS, GCP, and Azure. 🔹 Content Systems — Strapi headless CMS, WordPress documentation portals, and DITA-XML — I've managed large-scale publishing workflows and documentation infrastructure. I believe transparency wins trust. I run weekly stakeholder reports, manage every change request through formal impact analysis, and treat every blocker as a team problem to solve — not pass.
