What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a challenging role where I can use my organizational and problem-solving skills to drive continuous improvement in release management processes.

At Northern Trust, I manage software releases for three teams of developers, QA analysts, and release engineers. I developed and implemented a release management system and supported adoption of CI/CD practices to reduce post-release production issues.

At Pfizer INC., I streamlined release processes with automated testing and deployment strategies, reducing overall release time by 30%. I also collaborated with development, QA, and operations teams to resolve critical issues, reducing post-release incidents by 20%.

Earlier, I worked as a Project Manager at Hewlett Packard and a Scrum Master (Contract) at MOTOROLA, supporting teams with Agile practices, sprint planning, and delivery. My certifications include Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), and SAFe 5.1 Advanced Scrum Master (S-ASM).
