With a blend of tactical and strategic talent, I worked to guide Gooten and its tech teams towards delivering tech solutions that drive the most value to both internal and external stakeholders. I was responsible for collaborating with multiple internal teams to prioritize initiatives, epics, and stories according to Agile Methodologies. Employing these methodologies, I was an ad-hoc SCRUM master as I supported 3 teams' efforts to develop multiple projects. I created and refined JIRA user stories, and trained others on effective ways to implement and use Agile ceremonies. I was an effective sprint planner, using capacity and velocity to calculate effective commitments for the business team. All this led to the developers' achieving higher velocity in their work.I was a solution architect, constantly looking for ways to support the business in conventional and unconventional ways. This is a great way that my analyst skills came into play; I used data and business logic to outline areas of improvement and then suggested ways to enhance or modify the process to augment the product. This gave senior leaders key insights into the sales and operational data, leveraging it to work with the vendors more fully. They dropped low-performing vendors and sought out new ones based on the input I provided.
