Founder of SAU.app
Professional Project Manager, Product Owner & Web-developer based in Singapore

About

My specialization is Project Management IT Systems, including methodology, automation of processes, IT systems, and PM education.

I founded my startup SAU.app in 2018 and launched it one year after. Now my team and I continue developing and promoting SAU to help people boost their personal and team productivity with no stress.

For eight years till 2014, I actively developed, implemented, and supported IT systems utilizing Microsoft software such as SharePoint, Project Server, Portfolio Service, and Performance Point. For four years of them, I have been exclusively focused on managing projects with a multistep realization process from client consulting to full project automation and the creation of dashboard monitoring for upper management and investor access.

Then in 2014, my team and I launched the in-house developed corporative project management software, “PM Foresight”, that I have successfully implemented in various companies and organizations for four years until 2018. PM Foresight is used by more than 30,000 users in 57 different organizations.
