What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead Agile teams, drive end-to-end delivery, mentor engineers, and improve processes in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a Scrum Master with 13 years' experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software, facilitating Scrum ceremonies, managing product backlogs, and coaching Agile practices to improve SDLC productivity. I have managed performance evaluations, tracked sprint progress with KPIs like burndown charts and velocity, and acted as a go-to resource for engineering teams to resolve impediments and ensure timely releases.

Earlier roles include Technical Lead, Module Lead, and Systems Engineer where I designed and developed applications, coordinated deployments and upgrades, implemented test-driven development practices, and translated user requirements into project designs. I hold certifications including ITIL Foundation, Solution Architect (Associate), and CSM, and have received multiple awards for timely delivery and managing complex, cross-functional projects.
