Message

At U.S. FinTech Common Securitization Solutions, I served as a Scrum Master supporting delivery of the common securitization platform for the secondary mortgage market. I facilitated scrum ceremonies and served as a servant leader across sprint cycles and platform modules.

I maintained Rally and Jira across multiple teams, tracked delivery and burndown metrics, and coordinated agile assessments and changes to reduce the waterfall approach. I also worked in IT governance, managing platform baselines, change requests, backlog alignment, and Production Readiness Review approvals.
