I lead large-scale Agile delivery for distributed engineering teams and complex software products.
UruguayWhat I'm looking for
I've led large-scale Agile delivery at ITAU Bank, Galileo/Technisys, and Onetree, managing distributed engineering teams and complex digital banking software. At ITAU, I supported an Agile implementation spanning 20+ teams and aligned technical delivery with Digital Transformation and P&L goals.
I've improved release cycles, reduced technical debt by 50% during a re-platforming initiative, and increased delivery predictability by 30% through Kanban and bottleneck analysis. As a freelance Technical Delivery Leader, I coach remote teams and use AI-driven tools to reduce friction in QA and documentation.
