Objective

I’m a motivated and dedicated Scrum Master with 8 years of experience in the IT (Information Technology) field with 6 years of experience as a Scrum Master and 2 years as a Business Analyst. My objective as a Scrum Master is aimed at assisting organizations to move from waterfall to agile. Continuously upgrading and readily prepared to take on new challenges, absorb and easily adapt to new emerging technology. Lead new teams and act as a mentor to other teams, act as servant leader to teams and directing teams in finding solutions to problems rather than providing solutions. This helps organizations obtain their objective.
