My role involves strategic framework creation, coaching Scrum Masters, and acting as an internal consultant to spearhead innovation. My professional journey is underpinned by a passion for technology integration and process excellence, which has driven significant business transformations in each of my engagements.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
