What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Agile teams as a Scrum Master/Agile Coach—driving continuous improvement, stronger sprint predictability, and faster delivery, while leveraging AI-enabled tooling to streamline ceremonies, reporting, and backlog refinement.

I’m a Senior Scrum Master with 15+ years of experience and 5+ years of proven Agile leadership across banking, payments, regulatory reporting, and healthcare domains. I’m SAFe 6.0 and CSM certified, and I focus on improving sprint predictability, accelerating delivery, and building Agile maturity across distributed teams.

I bring hands-on AI-enabled delivery to streamline how teams work—using Copilot, Friday.AI, and Zoom AI Companion to automate sprint ceremonies, reporting, backlog refinement, and follow-ups. I’ve driven measurable outcomes, including improving sprint velocity by 15%, reducing blockers by 20%, and increasing stakeholder satisfaction by 25%.

In my most recent role at Xoriant Solutions, I coached 3 cross-functional Scrum teams (25+ members) and partnered closely with Product Owners to deliver regulatory commitments on time. I’ve also led Agile transformation at Cognizant by reducing release cycles from 4 months to 3 weeks, and I’ve earlier built strong testing foundations as a Senior Software Test Engineer and Software Test Engineer at Wipro and Syntel.
