What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in Agile practices.

I am a Scrum Master with 12 years of diverse experience in IT and BFSI, including over 2 years dedicated to driving Agile transformation. My journey has been marked by a commitment to coaching and mentoring Product Owners, Scrum Teams, and stakeholders, enhancing collaboration and implementing Agile best practices. At the Bank of New York, I played a pivotal role in unlocking the team's potential, achieving sustainable growth, and fostering innovation, which led to a remarkable 20% increase in team performance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully enabled Agile transformations that foster greater team alignment, transparency, and delivery efficiency. My efforts resulted in a 30% improvement in sprint predictability and a 25% increase in velocity. I take pride in facilitating key Scrum ceremonies and driving collaboration, which has significantly boosted team engagement and autonomy. My focus on reducing defect leakage has enhanced product quality and customer satisfaction, achieving a 95% on-time release rate and reducing delivery costs by 10%.
