Credentials
PMP, PMI-ACP, and Professional Scrum Master certified — with a growing technical foundation across AWS, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure most project managers don't pursue.
The agile and PM credentials are the core of how I lead. The technical ones underneath are deliberate — earned to strengthen my hand as a Technical Project Manager, not to collect letters after my name.
In practice, that means I sit in a security review or an AWS architecture discussion as a credible peer, not a scheduler translating between two rooms.
PMP — Project Management Professional (PMI)
The gold standard in project management — predictive, agile, and hybrid delivery. Covers both the technical side of delivery and the leadership dimension: stakeholder management and clear communication under pressure.
PMI-ACP — Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI)
Validates agile knowledge across Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and XP — not just one framework — and requires real hands-on agile experience, not just an exam. Paired with the PMP, it's the base for leading both predictive and adaptive delivery.
PSM I — Professional Scrum Master I (Scrum.org)
Foundational mastery of the Scrum framework — roles, events, artifacts, and the theory behind effective agile delivery. Assessment-based with no course requirement, which makes it one of the more demanding entry certifications in agile.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Associate
Validates designing scalable, fault-tolerant systems on AWS. For a Technical PM, it's the difference between coordinating a migration secondhand and holding a technical team accountable to a standard you understand yourself.
CompTIA Security+
The baseline certification for security practitioners — threats, cryptography, identity management. DoD 8570 approved and the recognised entry point for security roles.
CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+)
Validates detecting and analysing malicious activity, threat hunting, and incident response using behavioural analytics — the analyst-level skill set beyond foundational security.
CompTIA PenTest+
Hands-on, performance-based penetration testing — scoping, executing, and reporting with real remediation guidance. Offensive-security literacy most PMs running security programmes don't have.
CompTIA Project+
A vendor-neutral project management certification covering the full lifecycle for smaller projects — complementing the PMP with principles that apply beyond IT.
CompTIA Data+
Validates data analytics fundamentals — mining, governance, and statistical analysis. Useful for a PM who wants delivery metrics built on real data literacy.
CompTIA Network+
Comprehensive networking knowledge — protocols, troubleshooting, secure design. The foundation for any credible conversation about attack surfaces or cloud connectivity.
CompTIA A+
Hardware, operating systems, and end-point support — the operational layer beneath every security control and every technical programme.
