What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical or project leadership roles where I can drive Agile delivery, improve processes, mentor teams, and implement compliant, user-centered systems.

I am a results-oriented Business Systems Analyst and Project Manager with over 25 years of experience delivering process improvements, system implementations, and cost-saving solutions. I specialize in bridging business needs and technical teams to produce measurable outcomes.

I have led Agile and Waterfall projects across banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and consulting environments, facilitating Scrum ceremonies, PI planning, and feature decomposition to align teams and stakeholders. My work has reduced delivery time and software defects while improving customer satisfaction.

I author technical documentation, disaster recovery runbooks, and Confluence pages, and I write Gherkin-formatted user stories to create clear acceptance criteria. I also develop SQL and Unix code, create test plans and scripts, and perform system integration and UAT testing.

I hold an MBA, a Master’s in Project Management, and PMP and CSM certifications. I seek to apply my cross-functional leadership, risk/compliance knowledge, and technical skills to help organizations deliver reliable, compliant, and user-centered systems.
