Scaling & Agile Mastery
SAFe, LeSS, Kanban, Scrum — I diagnose the environment and apply what actually fits. I've facilitated PI Planning for 100+ professionals and scaled teams across complex organizations.
Senior Scrum Master & Agile Leader
I clear the fog so your teams can deliver.
Projects are foggy. Stakeholders want answers that can't be answered yet. I bring clarity and confidence — I give you the data, the tools, and the options so you can make the right call and stay on a path toward the success you're aiming for. From government and fintech to medical devices and IoT — complex environments are where I do my best work.
My Approach
Clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward
I don't just run ceremonies — I optimize the entire delivery pipeline, give you visibility into what's real, and make sure you have what you need to make the right decisions.
Technical Agility
BDD/TDD, CI/CD integration, DevOps workflows, feature flagging. I bridge the gap between Agile and engineering reality so teams stop fighting their own process.
Metrics & Flow Optimization
Cycle time, lead time, throughput, Monte Carlo forecasting. I bring the data that cuts through the noise — so decisions are backed by evidence, not gut feelings.
Project Rescue
Delayed projects are where I thrive. Infrastructure bottlenecks, security blockers, scope misalignment — I find the root cause, clear the fog, and get things back on track.
Contracts & Strategy
RFP development, proposal writing, contract adjustments. Most Scrum Masters don't touch the business side — I manage it so teams stay focused on building product.
Mentorship & Agile Coaching
Structured mentoring for Scrum Masters from beginner to expert. Organization-wide Agile training programs. I invest in people because that's what makes improvement stick.
What Sets Me Apart
Not your average Scrum Master
Business & ROI Fluency
A B.S. in Financial Services (Summa Cum Laude) means I speak the language of business, not just Agile. I understand ROI, contracts, and what leadership actually needs to hear to make decisions.
AI & Automation — Practically
I don't just buzzword AI. I use it daily to build real tools — forecasting engines, automation scripts, productivity workflows. I know what it can actually do for a team and what's just hype.
Recognized Thought Leader
