What I'm looking for

I'm targeting mid- to senior-level Scrum Master or Agile delivery assignments in a high-repute IT organization where I can coach teams, improve predictability, remove delivery impediments, and drive continuous improvement.

I've led Agile delivery for multiple teams at Biz Infotecno supporting Boston Consulting Group, facilitating PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, capacity planning, dependency management, and delivery tracking in SAFe and Kanban environments. I partner with Product Owners and stakeholders to turn initiatives into prioritized Epics, Features, and User Stories in JIRA.

Across Nitor Infotech, The Unique Culture, and Qualsquad Infotech, I've strengthened estimation, backlog health, dashboards, Agile metrics, and cross-functional collaboration. With 8.5+ years in IT and 5+ years as a Scrum Master, I coach teams to remove impediments, improve predictability, and deliver high-quality outcomes.
