Senior Scrum Master and Delivery Lead driving Agile transformations and measurable delivery improvements.
KyrgyzstanWhat I'm looking for
I am a delivery-focused Agile expert with 9+ years leading cross-functional teams and scaling Agile practices across organizations. I specialize in Scrum, Kanban, LeSS and SAFe to align business and technology towards predictable value delivery.
At DSSL I designed and launched Agile training for new Team Leads, increased maturity and autonomy of seven development teams, and reduced cycle time by 60% while scaling LeSS in a VA unit.
Previously at Tinkoff I reduced Time-to-Market by 2x, cut Lead Time by 3x across seven teams, automated prioritization for an SRE team, and built predictable delivery processes with clear stakeholder metrics.
I coach Product Owners and Team Leads, initiate Centers of Competence to raise quality standards, and continually focus on process optimization, change management and organizational development to improve transparency and value flow.
