I lead complex government technology releases, Agile delivery, and modernization across integrated enterprise systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Accenture Federal Services, I lead release delivery for a $500M government technology modernization program spanning seven Agile teams, approximately 150 personnel, 10 integrated systems, and more than 120 releases.
I own release strategy and production readiness for two applications, coordinating major and maintenance releases from requirements and sprint execution through UAT, governance, deployment, and production support.
I lead a 30-person technical and testing Scrum team with five direct reports, improving capacity planning, dependency management, roadmap visibility, and team execution. I reduced defects by approximately 30% by moving quality and accessibility validation earlier in delivery.
My background includes quality engineering, Section 508/WCAG accessibility testing, release governance, and delivery automation. I also introduced AI-assisted deployment-ticket automation projected to save approximately 144–192 hours annually.
