Agile Product Coach and Release Train Engineer improving delivery speed through SAFe, Scrum, and DevSecOps.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Agile Product Coach, Transformation Leader, and Release Train Engineer with more than 15 years leading enterprise Agile adoption. I coach executives, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and engineering teams to align strategy with measurable execution outcomes.
I’m known for improving delivery speed, reducing lead time, and strengthening Lean-Agile maturity. Across programs in transportation, utilities, and insurance, I align operating models, stakeholder engagement, and agile metrics to drive predictability.
In my recent work, I led Agile and product coaching for cross-functional teams, removed blockers to improve throughput and cycle time, and used AI-enabled backlog, reporting, and governance to enhance planning and decision-making. I also supported GenAI adoption across sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and forecasting.
My impact is backed by results like improving delivery speed by 30%, reducing lead time by 15%, and increasing maturity by 25%. I combine SAFe/RTE facilitation, PI Planning, and DevSecOps/CI/CD alignment with data and engineering enablement—including Snowflake and enterprise data lake delivery.
