PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

My big professional “WHY” is to help financial services and HR organizations leverage their technology platforms to effectively run their business goals and serve their clients throughout their companies. From Agile development, Scrum and Kanban methodology adoption, business process redesign and data analysis, I help scrum teams, product owners, HR business partners to operate with greater collaboration and efficiency.

In my professional journey, I have conducted the following scenarios -

• Guided teams to experiment self-improvement using inspection and adaptation practices within the Scrum framework, educating Scrum teams to foster transparency and commitment by setting up sprint and product goals that can be evaluated by stakeholders and then released to users at the end of the sprint cycle.

• To practice at a deeper level about service operation processes such as incident and problem management and service transition processes such as change and release management.

• To integrate their learning platforms to reflect business requirements using dynamic and automated assignments, custom reporting, and alignment of security roles.

• To migrate their datasets from various ERP platforms (UltiPro, Saba, Workday, Peoplesoft) for Learning, Performance, Recruiting, as well as integrate their technical ecosystems (SSO, Okta, HireRight, CareerBuilder, to name a few) with shortened timeframes and minimal disruption.

More than 200+ projects were completed, with 50+ customers from various industries – non-profits, state and federal agencies, healthcare, mid-market, and enterprise organizations.

This is my competency – Agile delivery, Release Management and Change Management

Passionate about client delivery and project management, a PSM1 Scrum Master and PMP Certified professional.

And this is my mission for all my clients – Customer Deployment. Customer Adoption. Customer Success.
