I lead Agile Release Trains, PI planning, and AI-automated release delivery across enterprise teams.

At UnitedHealth Group's Optum, I lead Agile Release Train delivery across 10+ Scrum teams, facilitating PI Planning, ART Syncs, Scrum of Scrums, System Demos, and release-readiness alignment for 24+ enterprise stakeholders.

I've doubled team velocity across four cross-functional teams and improved delivery predictability by 35% through metrics analysis, capacity planning, and Agile coaching. I also build AI agents with Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot to automate release checks, triage documentation, and stakeholder reporting, drawing on earlier experience in test automation, defect resolution, system testing, and network troubleshooting.
