PSM I-certified Scrum Master with 11+ years in IT, driving Agile delivery and QA-backed sprint execution for distributed teams.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) certified in 2025 with 11+ years in IT. I bring rare technical credibility to engineering teams—after transitioning from a decade in QA and test automation into Scrum leadership.
At Capgemini, I was a sole Scrum Master for a distributed US–India team (10–12) delivering a complex, high-compliance Crop Insurance platform. I improved sprint delivery efficiency by 30% and on-time delivery by 15%, standardized Scrum across locations, sharpened backlog refinement with Product and Business Analysts, and removed dependencies through structured dependency mapping and a clear Definition of Done.
I partner closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and engineering stakeholders to eliminate blockers and build accountable teams. My QA background supports earlier validation of acceptance criteria—helping drive zero critical defect escapes in the final two delivery quarters—while my coaching and mentoring reduced escalations by 50% over 18 months.
