What I'm looking for

I'm looking for Scrum Master, RTE, or Agile Coach roles focused on digital transformation and delivery excellence, especially on cross-functional product teams in regulated, government, fintech, or subscription environments. I value engineering culture, stakeholder alignment, and measurable improvement.

At Dynamic Consulting, I improved subscription-platform sprint efficiency by 25% and eliminated 15+ hours of weekly order-processing delays through backlog refinement and cross-functional coordination. Previously at Liberia Revenue Authority, I led ITAS and Customs delivery across five agencies, eliminating 60% of manual work and supporting tax revenue growth to $850M+.

I bring 5+ years of Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban delivery leadership across government, banking, and subscription platforms. I coach developers, QA, DevOps, and stakeholders using Agile metrics, structured retrospectives, release coordination, and continuous improvement; I also bring a technical foundation in Java, C#.NET, SQL, AWS, Jenkins, and CI/CD.
