What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep leading Scrum/SAFe delivery—facilitating ceremonies, removing impediments, and using metrics reviews to improve flow and throughput in regulated, high-volume environments.

I’ve led Agile across enterprise teams using Scrum and Kanban, including work at USAA, JPMorgan Chase, and The Home Depot. I focus on facilitating the ceremonies that keep execution moving and on partnering with Product Owners, Tech Leads, and stakeholders to improve how teams deliver.

At USAA, I improved Kanban workflow metrics like WIP limit, lead time, cycle time, implementation time, and throughput. I strategized feature-to-story sizing for steadier cycle time, ran metrics reviews, supported secure authentication rollout, and prioritized tech debt in the Auth/Sec flow.

More broadly, I coach teams through migration and transformation efforts—refining backlog readiness, conducting PI planning-related coordination, handling dependency/risk, and driving Kaizen. I’ve also served as a community Scrum Master and mentored professionals across IT, project management, customer service, and sales while keeping continuous improvement at the center.
