Summary

With over 17 years of experience in service delivery, project management, business analysis, and agile methodology, I am a Technical Program Manager/Scrum Master/Delivery Manager who can lead and support complex software development projects across multiple domains and platforms. I have a Scrum Fundamentals Certification and proficiency in Reporting & Analysis, and other tools that enable me to manage product backlog, sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and retrospectives effectively.

I also help deploy and release the application software and maintain the platform and infrastructure. Previously, I collaborated with various stakeholders to validate requirements, assess team members' responsibilities, and monitor contracts and service-level agreements. I am passionate about enabling and empowering teams to deliver innovative and scalable solutions that meet customer needs and expectations. I am seeking new opportunities in the field of technical program management and agile software development, where I can leverage my expertise and certification to add value and drive results.
