Message

At FORT ROBOTICS, I owned the firmware product backlog and translated stakeholder requirements into user stories and sprint goals for five successful releases.

I facilitated Scrum ceremonies for a team of four engineers and coached two engineering teams on Agile practices and continuous improvement.

At TERUMO BCT, I led product ownership for two software teams developing embedded software for the Rika plasma collection medical device. I managed release plans and scope, and ensured on-time delivery for six regulatory submission deadlines.

Earlier at TERUMO BCT, I provided software quality assurance oversight for embedded software teams, planned testing activities, and supported compliance with ISO 62304 and FDA software submission requirements.
