What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my Agile expertise while fostering a collaborative team environment and driving project success.

I am a Certified SAFe 6 Scrum Master with over 11 years of experience leading Agile teams and facilitating scrum ceremonies. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in driving project delivery, improving team dynamics, and optimizing product backlog management. I am passionate about leveraging my leadership skills to foster a collaborative environment and deliver high-quality software solutions.

In my recent role as Team Lead Agile at Phillip Capital Private Limited, I led cross-functional programs and focused on complex technology aspects to build business value. I prioritized transparency and collaboration, working closely with Product Owners and Engineering Managers to prepare roadmaps and scrum boards. My proactive project planning and team morale enhancement have led to notable improvements in project delivery time and a significant decrease in production defect leakages.
