At Kaizen Gaming, I own end-to-end Agile delivery across multiple engineering streams, supporting large-scale platform and API integrations in regulated multi-market environments. I build automated Jira release workflows, dependency maps, and eazyBI KPI dashboards to improve predictability and reduce blockers.

I've also led CRM delivery at Titanify, Scrum practices for maritime software at Benefit Software, and QA for logistics and digital government platforms at DPD Ireland and Netcompany-Intrasoft. My work connects engineering, product, providers, quality assurance, release readiness, and delivery metrics including Lead Time, Cycle Time, and Throughput.
