Sel Erdem

Sel Erdem is a Technical Project Manager, Certified Scrum Master, and lifelong problem-solver based in Pittsburgh, PA. With over a decade of experience spanning software development, QA automation, sales, and technical delivery, Sel brings a rare cross-functional perspective to every project he leads — equally comfortable in a sprint planning meeting, a stakeholder briefing, or a CI/CD pipeline conversation.

Sel currently serves as Senior Project Manager and Scrum Master at Pit Flip, where he has driven an Agile transformation that improved on-time delivery by 30% and reduced operational inefficiencies by 40%. Prior to that, he managed a 100+ client portfolio at Penn Power Systems, maintaining a 95% customer satisfaction rate while cutting overhead costs by 25%. Earlier in his career at Generator Supercenter, he led full project lifecycle delivery across multiple concurrent technical projects, mastering budget control, vendor coordination, and stakeholder alignment from the ground up.

His background in technology runs deep. At Intabella, Sel worked as a Software Development Engineer in Test, building Selenium/Java automation frameworks that cut test execution time by 50% and reduced release cycles by 25%. That hands-on engineering experience gives him an edge as a project manager — he understands what he's asking of his teams because he's done the work himself.

Sel studied Economics at Florida International University and is currently pursuing a graduate certificate in Artificial Intelligence in Business at Arizona State University. He is a Certified Scrum Master (Scrum Alliance), holds a Six Sigma Yellow Belt, and has earned certifications in Agile project management, Microsoft Azure AI, ServiceNow IT Leadership, corporate finance, and data analysis. He is also a candidate for the PMI-ACP certification.

He is fluent in English and Turkish, with working knowledge of Latin, German, and Spanish — a reflection of the curiosity and range that define his career.
