What I'm looking for

I'm eager to contribute my expertise in leadership and strategic execution, drawing on software development, quality assurance, Agile coaching, and project and program management.

At Oliver Insurance Software, I led end-to-end delivery of software solutions for the insurance industry, coordinating engineering, product, QA, and business stakeholders. I managed delivery across Policy Administration, Claims Management, Billing, and Insurance Core Platforms.

At Workday, I coached Scrum teams and advised engineering managers on Agile practices, while leading strategic initiatives and workshops. Earlier, as a Quality Assurance Engineer, I tested an AI/ML-driven product and developed Cypress automation scripts.

My work has also included automated system validation at Intel of Canada - Head-Worn Devices and software development at Siaras Inc. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems and a CSM certification from Scrum Alliance.
