I help modernize legacy platforms and build scalable architecture that minimizes our IT expenditure.
I help hire great people who are passionate, have a drive for excellence, and who have demonstrated that they are a great team player, show self-discipline and a "can do" attitude to help get things done.
I am an Agilist and a Scrum Certified Product Owner (CSM / CSPO), helping coach and mentor teams make the journey towards more nimble and agile organization.
Currently learning and practicing "design thinking" – explore, empathize, synthesize, ideate, prototype, and iterate – and how design thinking can advance innovation in products and processes.
