What I'm looking for

I seek a senior agile delivery role where I can lead cross-functional teams, improve processes, and use data to drive predictable, high-quality product delivery.

I am a seasoned Scrum Master and Program Manager with 12+ years of experience across healthcare, financial, media, and federal domains, guiding teams to deliver high-quality products through Agile and scaled-agile practices. I coach teams on Scrum, manage backlogs and releases, and embed continuous improvement while partnering with stakeholders to align delivery to business priorities.

My background includes hands-on technical experience in QA, business analysis, and data visualization (Tableau), plus working with big data environments (Hadoop/Cloudera, AWS). I have repeatedly reduced costs, improved delivery predictability, and implemented robust tracking using JIRA, Rally, and metrics such as velocity and burndown to drive outcomes.
