Release Manager at Centene coordinating enterprise CRM releases across six teams and improving on-time delivery.

At Centene Corporation, I lead monthly and off-cycle releases for an enterprise CRM platform, coordinating distributed teams from planning through production verification. I established Go/No-Go gates, runbooks, and deployment checklists that reduced production defect leakage by 35%.

I partnered with engineering and DevOps leads on CI and automated testing practices, accelerating deployment cadence from quarterly to bi-weekly. I also supervised a cross-functional release team of 40+ and delivered a 95%+ on-time release rate.

At Cable One Inc, I guided engineering squads through a Waterfall-to-Agile transformation that increased release delivery velocity by 63% in the first year. Earlier, I coordinated releases for Premier Inc’s healthcare ERP platform, achieving zero compliance audit findings, and provisioned and monitored Linux infrastructure at Lolubyte IT Consultants.
