WORK HISTORY
Agile Practices and Delivery Lead @AJ Bell
Leadership & StrategyStrategic Transformation: Developed and implemented the SPACE framework to measure engineering health. Translated these metrics into C-Suite appropriate reporting, securing buy-in for key strategic decisions, including the funding and introduction of Product Owners to resolve identified workflow friction.* Velocity Growth: Drove a 500% increase in production releases, shifting the organization from \"big bang\" releases to continuous daily deployment.Cultural Turnaround: Improved internal delivery sentiment from negative to positive by targeting pain points such as PR review cycle times and friction between product teams and development.Technical Innovation & AtlassianInternal Tooling (AI & Forge): Architected and coded a custom Atlassian Forge application (utilizing GitHub Co-Pilot) to standardize portfolio reporting.* Adoption: The tool replaced disparate spreadsheets, loading live Jira data into a C-Suite friendly dashboard. Achieved company-wide adoption with 200+ initiatives managed within 8 weeks of launch.* Integration: Engineered integrations with Atlassian Compass, JSM, SonarCloud, and Snyk to ensure a holistic view of delivery risk, resource sufficiency, and code quality.* Ecosystem Modernization: Led the migration of 200+ engineers to the Atlassian Cloud, managing the architecture, data migration, and training.

ABOUT ANDREW PASS CMGR
I am an Engineering Leader and former software developer passionate about reducing friction and building a safe culture of continuous improvement. I bridge the gap between technical execution and C-Suite strategy, translating complex engineering data into actionable business insights.My focus is on Developer Experience (DevEx)—not just as a buzzword, but as a mechanism for ROI. By implementing the SPACE framework, I moved my current organization from tracking simple uptime metrics to understanding the full Software Delivery Lifecycle and importantly using these insights to drive decisions and actions.Key Impacts:*Velocity: Orchestrated a cultural and technical shift that increased releases to production by 500%, moving from big bang releases to enabling daily deployments.*Culture: Transformed internal product sentiment from \"unhappy\" to \"happy\" by reducing PR review cycles and aligning delivery with core product objectives.*Strategy: Utilized DevEx insights to identify workflow gaps, leading to the strategic hiring and embedding of Product Owners across the function.I remain hands-on when innovation is required. Leveraging GitHub Co-Pilot and my background in development, I recently architected and built a custom Atlassian Forge application. This tool standardized roadmap reporting across 5 product areas, solved a massive visibility challenge for the executive board, and achieved company-wide adoption in under two months.
