What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement within Agile teams.

I am a dynamic and results-driven SAFe Certified Scrum Master with extensive experience in enhancing team performance and delivering high-value projects within complex scaled Agile environments. My proven ability to transition teams from monthly to weekly releases through effective coaching and Agile methodologies has consistently driven success in my projects.

In my current role at HENI, I facilitate daily stand-ups, planning sessions, and retrospectives for multiple large-scale projects, introducing workflows and structure to Scrum and Kanban teams. My coaching and mentoring of remote teams have been pivotal in identifying and mitigating risks, ensuring smooth project delivery. Previously, at CIGNA, I led multiple Scrum teams across multimillion-dollar projects, successfully implementing Kanban to increase work throughput by 25% and managing stakeholder expectations across diverse geographical locations.
