What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to product-focused teams where I can align stakeholders, refine backlogs and user stories, and improve product value, usability, and delivery through Agile and SAFe practices.

At Gorilla Logic, I partnered with Product Owners and stakeholders to define, refine, and prioritize user stories, contribute to backlog management, and support PI Planning.

Across 15+ years in software development environments, including Informatech, Bosz Digital, and AvVenta Worldwide, I've helped teams clarify requirements, validate features, and deliver high-quality releases. I bring a user-focused perspective that improves usability while connecting product, development, and QA teams.

I'm SAFe-certified in Product Ownership, Product Management, and Agile practices, with hands-on experience in Jira, Confluence, SQL, Postman, Swagger, and GitHub.
