As a senior Scrum Master, I led and mentored Scrum teams, ensuring adherence to Agile principles and practices while facilitating effective communication and collaboration within the team and with stakeholders. My responsibilities included coaching team members and Product Owners on Scrum processes, resolving impediments, and promoting continuous improvement through retrospectives and other Agile ceremonies. Additionally, I played a key role in fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and self-organization within the team.

Kansas City, Missouri Area

I guide multiple teams in best practices and Scrum ceremonies. I help the teams identify impediments, and work to remove them. I assist the teams in their path to improvement through self-organization, helping them to adhere to the values and principles of Agile development, while coaching them into adopting technical excellence.

I helped establish, coach and develop Mariner’s first Scrum team. While the team formed, I taught and coached agile principles. I encouraged the team to pursue best practices from other frameworks (such as DevOps and XP) and helped them work through how best to deliver value in every iteration. I also worked with a distributed team of contractors, facilitated and led ceremonies, and helped them discover ways to use technology to communicate effectively.

I developed custom solutions for product design, analysis, and sales of storage tanks and silos. Where possible, I worked with our business partners to customize our products to customer specifications. I developed documentation, processes and databases as required to meet product needs.

I built and enhanced software for closed loop payment systems. Our team leveraged Kanban workflows to deliver priority features as identified by our Product Owner. As our customers had more specialized requirements beyond our core product capabilities, I engineered unique products to meet their needs.

I participate in all phases of the system development life cycle in the creation, maintenance and support of financial analysis/reporting software applications. I also collaborate with business area staff/management, architects and other software engineers in the design and evolution of software solutions that support state insurance regulators as well as internal financial regulatory staff.
