What I'm looking for

I am seeking a Senior Scrum Master/Agile role where I can lead transformations, improve delivery predictability, mentor teams, and work in collaborative, outcome-focused environments.

I am a Senior Scrum Master with 14 years of IT experience, including 6 years leading Agile transformations across banking, financial services, and product environments. I specialize in enabling high-performing cross-functional teams and improving delivery predictability.

I have led end-to-end Scrum delivery for large clients, partnered with Product Owners and stakeholders to prioritize backlogs, and facilitated all Agile ceremonies to ensure consistent sprint cadence and delivery discipline. I use data-driven Agile metrics to drive continuous improvement.

My achievements include reducing delivery impediments by approximately 70% through structured risk tracking and cross-team coordination, increasing sprint goal achievement to over 90%, and improving release predictability via dependency management and program boards.

I coach teams on Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, and Agile engineering practices, mentor QA and development teams, and am committed to servant leadership, stakeholder management, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
