What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead Agile delivery teams where I can coach teams, remove impediments, improve predictability and quality, and build psychologically safe, collaborative product environments.

I've led Agile delivery across TIAA, Harman Connected Services, Cognizant, Accenture, and Harbinger Systems, guiding cross-functional teams through sprint planning, backlog refinement, delivery, and continuous improvement.

At TIAA, I managed end-to-end delivery for complex financial projects across multiple Scrum teams, improving capacity planning and delivery commitment accuracy. At Harman, I partnered with the Product Owner to reduce sprint spillovers by 15% through effective story splitting and backlog prioritization.

I bring hands-on software engineering and DevOps experience alongside servant leadership, helping teams reduce defect leakage to QA/UAT by 40%, strengthen psychological safety, and deliver reliable products on time.
