Eric Briggs Alexandria, VA, United States
Hello! My name is Eric and I work in Video Games as a Producer (essentially a Project Manager) for about 4 years.

As a kid, I was always drawn to music and games, so I worked as in IT for approximately 10 years until I got my break in video games. I didn't really have a desired role, but I was inspired by the presenters on the E3 stages.

I have experience with JIRA and Microsoft project. I would like to learn more about JIRA dashboards and how to set them up for different views.

I was drawn to Project Management because my peers were more proficient in the other disciplines of Game Design and I had prior experience in software development.

My proudest achievement is working with the team to launch WWE 2K22, where I worked on 2 different modes.

Hi everyone, I’m Ciro — it’s a pleasure to join this community. I currently work in financial operations and project management in the accounting and professional services industry, while also completing my studies in Property Management here in the U.S.

Growing up, I was always drawn to problem solving and organization, which naturally led me into project management. What keeps me in the profession is the combination of structure, people, and continuous learning — no two projects are ever the same, and there is always an opportunity to improve a process or help a team move more efficiently.

Some of the tools I use regularly include Microsoft Project, Power BI, and various AI-assisted platforms that support planning, reporting, and decision making. I’m also expanding my skills in cloud technologies and AI-driven project management, which I believe will reshape the future of our profession.

My proudest accomplishment so far has been earning my PMP® and using that foundation to improve financial and operational processes in the organizations I support.

Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing where I can.
Welcome to PMI's online community, Ciro! Looking forward to learning from you as well.

Kunal Chitnis Project manager Mississauga, Canada
Hi everyone!
My name is Kunal Chitnis, and I currently work as a Project Manager with a small-to-medium enterprise.

Growing up, I always wanted to do something in the Armed Forces — I was drawn to the discipline, leadership, and sense of purpose that came with it. While life took me in a different direction, those values still influence how I approach my work today.

I’m relatively new to the formal project management domain, so honestly, I’m excited to learn everything. I’ve been exposed to tools like Monday, MS Project through my work, and I’m keen to deepen my understanding of core PM tools, frameworks, and technologies to become a well-rounded practitioner.

My journey into project management started in the retail and CPG industry, where I worked on projects such as new product development, product launches, and consumer research initiatives. In my current role, I had the opportunity to lead an SAP S/4HANA implementation, which was a big learning curve but also a very rewarding experience. That project made me realize how much I enjoyed leading structured, cross-functional work — which ultimately pushed me to formalize my experience by earning my PMP certification. I’m hoping this PMI community will help me learn from experienced professionals and explore new opportunities.

One of my proudest professional accomplishments was successfully defending multiple product deletions at a major retailer, which could have resulted in the loss of nearly 45% of annual category sales. I worked closely with Sales and Marketing to reposition the brand, refine pricing strategies, and connect commercial performance with consumer insights — and we were able to turn the situation around.

Looking forward to connecting and learning from all of you..

Gabriel Silva VP Technology PMI Mexico Centro Chapter| ALENCA SC Ciudad De México, Distrito Federal, Mexico
Hi Laura! Nice to meet you. This is my answers:

My name is Gabriel Silva, I'm from Mexico and I currently serve as a Technology Leader for a company in the Real Estate sector. I am passionate about continuous improvement and staying ahead of the curve with emerging technologies like AI, Cloud Computing, and Blockchain to drive innovation.

Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a Physicist to study the Universe. However, I found that my true strength wasn't in abstract formulas, but in logic. This naturally led me to computer programming. Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by puzzles and mazes, and software engineering allows me to apply that same passion for problem-solving in a professional way.

While I have used many tools, my favorite methodology is Kanban. I find it to be a powerful visual tool that provides transparency and helps the team focus on flow and efficiency. I also value platforms that support this, like Jira or Trello, to keep stakeholders aligned.

About 8 years ago, I participated in a government project as a Technical Lead. At the time, I didn't have Project Management knowledge, and the project failed to meet its objectives due to scope issues. That experience pushed me to learn about PM. I found the PMI and the PMBOK Guide, and I loved it. Today, I am passionate about these standard for delivering successful projects.

My proudest accomplishment is my volunteer work with the PMI. Recently, I served as the Leader for the 'Latin American Study Network.' I coordinated a team of over 40 volunteers across 29 chapters, helping members prepare for PMP, CAPM, and ACP certifications. Additionally, In addition, the team and I have promoted a continuous learning initiative focusing on disruptive trends in Project Management, specifically how to leverage Artificial Intelligence in our field.
