What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead Agile teams, solve technical debt and security challenges, build robust backend/data services, and collaborate with stakeholders in mission-driven environments.

I am a Scrum Master and software engineer with extensive experience delivering backend services, data models, and automated testing for government and commercial clients.

I have led Kanban and Scrum teams, managed backlogs focused on technical debt and security, and developed backend Python and Java services for ingesting, validating, and storing sensitive law enforcement and geospatial data using AWS and Atlassian toolchains.

I hold certifications including Certified Scrum Master and SAFe 5 Scrum Master, and I bring a collaborative, security-conscious approach to architecting APIs, automation, and data pipelines to drive reliable, auditable solutions.
