Scrum Master Resume

SUMMARY

Working as a Technology Project Manager and Scrum Master in government and corporate realms has given me incredible experience into business processes and software development - -as well as how to improve both.
With thousands of hours of formal, technical and leadership training, I am blessed with a unique ability to form and grow teams, while rapidly meeting the needs of our organization.
Today, I wield nearly 15 years of applied leadership practices in some of the most technically intense and time-critical situations.
