I lead Agile delivery for banking platforms while engineering Java, AWS, and microservices solutions.
What I'm looking for
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.
