Over six years at IBM, I worked across federal HR technology in a role that spanned change management, system design, stakeholder and client relationships, and platform modernization, all within an environment where multi-agency regulations and compliance requirements shaped nearly every decision. My title was Technical Consultant, but the work functioned as product management: owning the roadmap and backlog, gathering requirements directly from clients and users, prioritizing what to build next, and leading a cross-functional team through delivery, testing, and adoption for platforms serving federal agencies. The breakdown below covers the specific areas I owned.
