Helping teams
ship better, together.
I'm a Certified SAFe® 6 Scrum Master and Agilist with 11 years of experience in the IT industry — 5 years dedicated to leading Agile teams and 4 years in Quality Assurance before that.
Currently leading product teams at CLARIO. Previously at Accenture, Saurally Solar, and Amazon Development Center — where I started as a Test Associate and grew into an SME role, even traveling to Seattle to coordinate Alexa Skills launches.
I believe in removing obstacles, not adding ceremonies — and in building teams that genuinely improve sprint over sprint.
