What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can lead Agile teams, coach continuous improvement, use data visualization to drive decisions, and deliver high-quality products in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a certified Scrum Master with 15+ years in the IT industry, experienced in coaching teams, removing impediments, and delivering complex products across Healthcare, Financial Services, CMT, and Retail domains.

I have a strong background in Agile frameworks and tools — including Jira, Confluence, Kanban, and sprint practices — and I pair that with data-visualization expertise in Power BI, Tableau, and SAP BO to improve decision-making and product quality.

My leadership has driven measurable outcomes: improved product quality by 15%, reduced cycle time by 20%, increased team velocity by 30%, and trained and mentored teams and 35+ members to adopt Scrum and continuous improvement practices.
