Technical project and delivery roles

I ran a production line. Then I ran the projects that changed it.

Four years in a 24/7 glass plant in Melbourne, most of them in charge of the line and 18 operators across three shifts. Two years building software with AI. Looking for technical project and delivery roles in Barcelona or EU-remote.
