With over a decade of experience as a Scrum Master, Business Analyst, and Software Quality Assurance (QA) Manager, I have successfully led cross-functional teams across diverse environments—ranging from start-ups to large national and international enterprises. I am adept at navigating the dynamics of on-shore, offshore, and distributed teams, fostering collaboration, and delivering high-value outcomes.
As a Senior Scrum Master, I have driven multiple large-scale projects using Agile methodologies, with deep practical knowledge of both Scrum and Kanban frameworks. In my role as a QA Manager, I have led high-performing teams of SDETs and QA analysts, balancing hands-on testing responsibilities with strategic collaboration alongside product owners, developers, and key stakeholders.
My professional approach emphasizes continuous improvement, alignment with business objectives, and fostering a culture of accountability and growth within teams.
