   Nov 2020 — Present

   In my current role as a Scrum Master and Business Analyst, I support both existing applications and the development of new products being built from the ground up. I work closely with subject matter experts and stakeholders to understand business objectives and facilitate solution design sessions that align with strategic goals. I ensure effective feedback channels are in place to support iterative enhancements and continuous improvement. I’ve coached the development team on Agile best practices, leading the successful transformation of a manual, inefficient supplier onboarding process into a robust, automated application. By clearly communicating timelines, milestones, and dependencies, I’ve helped maintain on-time delivery across project scope, schedule, and budget while proactively identifying and removing impediments. I also lead weekly governance meetings to report on project health and risks, facilitate all Scrum ceremonies, and support the Product Owner with backlog refinement and prioritization—helping to maintain focus and prevent scope creep.• Coached cross-functional teams on Agile best practices, resulting in a 25% reduction in defect count and improved adherence to Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD).• Shielded the Scrum team from external distractions, enabling them to maintain focus and meet or exceed sprint goals in over 90% of sprints.• Facilitated comprehensive requirements gathering sessions, which led to clearer user stories, improved backlog grooming, and a 15% decrease in rework due to miscommunication.• Championed technical best practices such as unit testing, automated testing, pair programming, and swarming, contributing to increased code quality and faster issue resolution.• Delivered ongoing Scrum coaching that strengthened team understanding of Agile values and principles, leading to a stronger Agile mindset and improved team dynamics.
