What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead Agile delivery, coach teams to higher Scrum maturity, and partner closely with Product Owners—translating ambiguous needs into clear roadmaps, removing cross-team impediments, and sustaining fast, reliable releases.

I’m an Agile Delivery and Scrum Master leader with hands-on experience driving product delivery for high-scale platforms. I coach cross-functional teams to higher Scrum maturity, partner with Product Owners on business-aligned backlogs, and sustain delivery through rapid growth—without service disruption.

At Truepush, I led and coached a 15-member cross-functional Agile team, aligning roadmap, scope, and milestones across distributed contributors for a platform delivering 511M+ notifications daily. I served as the liaison between business stakeholders and technology teams, converting feedback into execution-ready Jira stories and removing cross-team obstacles before they impacted timelines.

Previously, at Way2News and Way2SMS, I managed sprint scope, timeline, and quality gates, improved on-time sprint completion, and reduced last-minute scope changes. I also supported major platform migration (P2P to A2P) and contributed to 6x revenue growth, including reaching 22K DAU in 3 months while maintaining continuous release momentum.
