@danielmedrano
I lead Agile technology delivery and user-centered project execution at Starbucks.
What I'm looking for
I lead end-to-end project management for Starbucks Technology, guiding work from intake through deployment with scope control, schedule governance, risk assessments, reporting, and project roadmaps.
Previously, as a Scrum Master at Starbucks, I supported Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, platform stabilization, Continuous Delivery, and security workstreams. I led sprint planning across three teams, facilitated retrospectives, partnered on production deployments, and established a new Intake workflow for Partner Technology.
My background in user experience research and design brings empathy and user-centered thinking to delivery work. At From Wilderness, I used Design Thinking to create interface designs, wireframes, layouts, and visual assets in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Procreate.
I’ve also led retail teams, improved customer connection research across three districts, and helped an ecommerce business increase its online reach and brand presence by 14%.
