United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Scrum Master and Agile Project Manager with 13+ years of experience delivering enterprise software projects across mortgage, banking, healthcare, and e-commerce environments. I lead Agile transformations by facilitating Scrum ceremonies and managing cross-functional engineering teams to deliver high-impact solutions on time and within scope.
I partner with product owners and stakeholders to translate business requirements into prioritized user stories and sprint-ready backlogs, then coordinate dependencies and release planning across multiple development streams. I track delivery metrics, team velocity, and sprint outcomes using JIRA dashboards, Azure DevOps dashboards, and Agile reporting tools, while continuously removing impediments and driving continuous improvement in delivery velocity and product quality.
In recent roles, I validated AI-driven automation and decision support initiatives by aligning stakeholders on expected outcomes, and I’ve improved delivery performance by reducing delivery issues by ~30%, increasing team throughput by 15%, and improving product quality by 17% through TDD. I’m known for Scrum leadership, Agile coaching, project governance, and cross-team collaboration that strengthens execution and stakeholder alignment.
