Senior Scrum Master delivering predictable Agile software releases with strong governance and stakeholder alignment.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Senior Scrum Master (PSM I/PSM II) with 8+ years of experience delivering complex software projects in Agile environments. I own end-to-end Agile project delivery—managing scope, schedule, quality, risks, dependencies, and releases—while facilitating Scrum ceremonies for distributed teams to drive transparency, accountability, and stakeholder confidence.
I partner closely with Product Owners and business stakeholders to improve backlog readiness, user story clarity, and acceptance criteria, and I track delivery health using dashboards and tools like JIRA. I’ve led continuous improvement initiatives (including actionable retrospective follow-ups), supported transitions from Waterfall to Agile, and introduced frameworks like Scrumban to handle production/operational work more effectively. Earlier in my career, I also served as a Technical Lead and Change Manager—mentoring teams, supporting on-prem to Azure cloud migration, setting up CI/CD pipelines, and governing 30+ application/operational changes monthly through CAB—earning recognition including the VP CIO Award and Devon Value Award.
