Data-driven Scrum Master combining QA precision with Agile systems thinking to deliver fintech and data systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Scrum Master (PSM I) with 3 years of dedicated Scrum Master experience and 8 years in tech delivery. I lead cross-functional teams toward common outcomes, bringing a QA engineer’s precision and strong systems thinking to Agile delivery.
I specialize in data-driven Agile delivery for fintech and data-intensive systems—translating Agile metrics into business-strategy narratives that support planning and investment decisions. By diagnosing delivery issues through velocity trends and backlog readiness, I improved sprint predictability from 75% to 95%+ and reduced spillovers by 70–80% using pre-sprint validation checkpoints.
I’m equally focused on execution discipline: I identify and assess risks, perform impact analysis and prioritization, and remove impediments with a 24-hour SLA—cutting blocked stories by ~60%. I coach teams on strengths and developmental needs, facilitate Scrum ceremonies, and deliver executive-ready reporting so leadership can make informed decisions on scope, capacity, and risk.
