What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages continuous improvement, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a Certified Scrum Master with over 7 years of experience, I have successfully led Agile transformations that significantly improved team velocity and delivery predictability. My expertise lies in facilitating Scrum ceremonies, backlog refinement, and sprint planning, which has consistently resulted in enhanced performance metrics across various software development environments.

In my recent role at NTT Data, I led a seamless transition from Waterfall to Scrum, achieving a 30% improvement in sprint delivery. I have a proven track record of mentoring teams, implementing process optimizations, and driving continuous improvement initiatives that align with Agile and Scrum frameworks. My commitment to fostering a collaborative environment has enabled teams to meet and exceed their commitments, ultimately enhancing organizational value delivery.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to engage stakeholders effectively and resolve conflicts, which has led to significant reductions in project bottlenecks and improved team productivity. I am passionate about coaching teams to adopt Agile methodologies and continuously strive to enhance product delivery and risk management.
