Result-driven Agile professional with 8+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a result-driven Agile professional with over 8 years of experience leading Agile transformations across various sectors, including consumer goods, telecom, and healthcare. My expertise as a Scrum Master and Project Manager has enabled me to guide teams in delivering high-quality, customer-centric solutions. I have a proven track record of optimizing project delivery through effective Agile ceremonies, backlog management, and risk mitigation, ensuring projects are completed on schedule and within budget.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led cross-functional teams, achieving significant improvements in project outcomes. For instance, at Avanade Inc, I spearheaded the launch of a consumer mobile app that resulted in a 45% increase in 5-star app store ratings. My ability to foster strong stakeholder communication and collaboration has been instrumental in aligning project goals with customer needs, ultimately driving successful project outcomes and enhancing user engagement.
I am passionate about continuous improvement and Agile best practices, and I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and lead change. My commitment to professional development is reflected in my ongoing pursuit of the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, alongside my existing credentials in Scrum and Agile methodologies.
