What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and continuous improvement in Agile environments.

As a Certified Scrum Master with four years of experience, I have successfully facilitated Agile transformations and delivered high-quality projects across various industries. My proven ability to foster collaboration and remove impediments has significantly improved team performance and productivity. I am skilled in Agile frameworks and adept at leveraging tools such as JIRA and Confluence to enhance project visibility and efficiency.

In my current role at Chase Bank, I led scrum ceremonies for a distributed team, increasing sprint engagement rates by 20% and achieving 100% sprint goal alignment. My collaborative approach with stakeholders has resulted in a 30% faster time-to-market for project milestones. I take pride in mentoring new team members on Agile practices, which has reduced their onboarding time by 50% and enforced quality standards that decreased rework rates by 35%.

Throughout my career, I have transitioned teams from waterfall to Agile methodologies, significantly increasing delivery speed and customer satisfaction. My focus on continuous improvement and metrics tracking has consistently led to enhanced team productivity and project outcomes. I am passionate about driving Agile adoption and fostering a culture of empathy and emotional intelligence within teams.
