What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating internationally and am interested in applying my Agile delivery experience in enterprise environments.

At Elixir Technologies, I coach 2–3 cross-functional Scrum teams and use delivery metrics to improve sprint predictability to 90%. I also drive PI Planning and Scrum of Scrums, helping reduce dependency-related blockers by 45%.

I use Jira dashboards, Power BI datasets, and AI tools to track delivery and support team planning. At Elixir Technologies, JIRA Agentic AI helped reduce Scrum administration effort by roughly 30%.

At Takafulbazaar, I managed Agile delivery for insurance features including policy issuance, renewals, claims workflows, and regulatory compliance across web and mobile platforms. I also coordinated engineering, QA, product, and compliance teams.

Earlier, I contributed to the Noqodi digital payments platform and developed Oracle PL/SQL procedures and Informatica ETL pipelines supporting reconciliation and regulatory reporting. My experience also includes UAE government systems, enterprise logistics platforms, and authorized SAFe training.
