About

As a seasoned Agile Leader and Scrum Master with over 15 years of experience across diverse industries, I am passionate about enhancing delivery quality and speed through innovative Agile and Lean methodologies. I am certified in SAFE lean-agile leadership and The Kanban Method, and I am committed to continuous learning and industry innovation. My professional journey includes significant roles at Fidelity International, Paddy Power BetFair, Allied Irish Banks, Mastercard, Deloitte, and Redstar. These roles have enabled me to spearhead Agile transformations, achieve significant reductions in cycle times, and train and coach teams and senior stakeholders in Agile, Kanban, and Lean methodologies. In terms of academic qualifications, I hold an M.Sc. in Management of Information Systems from Trinity College, University of Dublin, and a B.Sc. in Business and Management from Dublin Institute of Technology. My core skills include Agile Coaching, Scrum Mastery, Kanban, leadership and communication, and technical proficiency in coding with Python and SQL, and working with a broad technology stack including AWS, Docker, and Jira. Beyond my professional interests, I am an avid competitive powerlifter, football player, poker enthusiast, drone builder and pilot, and a keen explorer of financial markets and algorithms, particularly in the realm of Bitcoin and Python algorithm development.
