What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to lead Agile transformations, foster team collaboration, and drive continuous improvement in a dynamic environment.

I am an accomplished Certified Agile Coach and Senior Scrum Master with over 8 years of experience in leading Agile transformations and managing complex projects. My expertise lies in driving the implementation of SAFe, Scrum, and Kanban methodologies, which has enabled me to foster high-performance teams and deliver significant business value. At Humana, I successfully led Agile transformations across multiple domains, resulting in a remarkable 25% improvement in team efficiency and value delivery.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to facilitating ART ceremonies, including PI Planning, Backlog Refinement, and Retrospectives, ensuring seamless collaboration and alignment across teams. My strategic guidance in Agile principles has not only improved team autonomy and productivity but also enhanced decision-making processes. I take pride in coaching and mentoring Scrum Masters, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and growth within teams, ultimately leading to successful project deliveries on time and within budget.
