## About

```text
At BT Group, I led Global Fabric delivery across five teams in a SAFe Agile Release Train, helping deliver around ten features per quarter. I facilitated planning and reviews, supported capacity allocation, and coached teams on flow and predictability.

At Nike, I led Scrum delivery across four international AIML teams and worked with Product Owners on prioritization and backlog quality. I used cycle time, WIP, and throughput to improve flow and remove blockers.

At InfoShare Academy, I delivered Scrum training and adapted the framework for programming courses. I also configured Jira and Confluence for multiple teams and developed internal systems and websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and WordPress.
