IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Scrum Master with 14+ years of IT experience, including 6+ years leading Agile teams delivering enterprise software across Insurance, Banking, Retail, Telecom, and Restaurant Technology. I coach teams through Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban frameworks—facilitating ceremonies, improving sprint predictability, and enabling high-performing cross-functional delivery.
In my recent roles, I’ve implemented Scrum framework adoption to strengthen Agile maturity and consistently delivered structured sprint execution. I track Agile metrics (velocity, sprint progress, release forecasting) using JIRA dashboards, align sprint goals with Product Owners and stakeholders, and manage risks, impediments, and cross-team dependencies to keep delivery on track.
Beyond Agile, I bring a strong DevOps automation and CI/CD foundation, maintaining deployment pipelines with Jenkins and scripting automation using Unix Shell, Python, and Perl. I’m energized by continuous improvement—removing blockers, enabling self-organization, and working with global stakeholders to accelerate product outcomes.
