What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters Agile practices, encourages team collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Strategic Agile Delivery Leader with over 14 years of experience in architecting and executing scaled Agile transformations across various enterprise environments, including Healthcare, Banking, FinTech, Telecom, and Retail. My expertise lies in leading distributed teams through SAFe, Scrum, and Lean frameworks to drive business agility, reduce operational waste, and accelerate product time-to-market.

Throughout my career, I have built Agile capabilities from the ground up, coaching cross-functional teams and leadership on the Agile mindset while institutionalizing metrics-driven governance using tools like JIRA, Azure DevOps, Confluence, and Miro. I am known for unlocking delivery potential through continuous flow management, value stream alignment, and customer-centric iteration planning, consistently elevating Agile maturity and team performance.

My passion for embedding agility into organizational culture is reflected in my coaching approach, data-driven retrospectives, and adaptive delivery strategies. I thrive on facilitating Agile ceremonies, improving backlog readiness, and enhancing team productivity, all while maintaining a focus on delivering value to the customer.
