What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead Agile delivery for complex banking or financial-services platforms, combining Scrum leadership with hands-on technical depth to improve predictability, remove engineering risks, and help cross-functional teams deliver value at scale.

At Luxoft, I lead Agile delivery for three cross-functional squads building a global equities trading platform, sustaining sprint-goal attainment above 90% across PI cycles. I also engineer Java 17, Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker features, including Portware and FIX integrations.

Previously at NatWest, I led PI Planning for 70+ people across four banking product tracks and delivered microservices for Cards, Loans, Overdrafts, and Savings. I combined Scrum leadership with code reviews, estimate validation, CI/CD automation, and team coaching.

I bring 15+ years in enterprise IT across banking, capital markets, and enterprise technology. I use GenAI tools to reduce ceremony preparation time and surface delivery risks earlier, while helping teams remove blockers and deliver predictably.
