Scrum Master and project manager driving agile delivery and real-time data decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Scrum Master and project manager with 3 years Scrum Master experience and 6 years project management experience. I lead programs and projects to meet business, financial, technical, and regulatory objectives using Agile, waterfall, and blended methodologies.

In previous roles, I served as schedule manager and helped develop PMO schedule standards for a portfolio of projects. I efficiently manage and update tracker data using Excel spreadsheets, act as a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, and translate complex data into actionable strategies. I also used Kidasa milestones professional and steelray schedule analyser to consolidate program insight, assess progress, and proactively detect blockers.
I’ve managed high-impact delivery across large teams and critical timelines, including work on a $50M program with 6 alliances (work streams) and 200+ team members. I led migration of 125 legacy servers to Google cloud, achieving $380k annualized cost savings, and partnered with analytic engineers and visualization specialists to build scalable data tools and dashboards. I’ve owned core metrics frameworks, delivered self-serve data platforms, and established roadmaps and team charters to scale analytics capabilities with continuous improvement.
