Over the past few years, I have provided project management training, guided organizations through the adoption of Scaled Scrum, and coached new Scrum Masters. My technical expertise includes working with Laravel, React Native, and delivering e-commerce solutions. Additionally, I have extensive experience with Atlassian products, both in administration and migrating organizations to tools like JIRA and Confluence. I have also specialized in delivering metaverse solutions using Unreal Engine 4 and AWS, managing data asset pipelines, and leading teams of data scientists and engineers. In my previous roles, I have successfully managed various projects as an Agile Project Manager and Scrum Master, ensuring timely delivery and budget adherence. I have been responsible for facilitating meetings, creating project plans, gathering requirements, and providing Agile coaching. My experience includes working with tools like JIRA, Gsuite, and Asana, and I have a strong background in developing and maintaining custom solutions using JIRA Cloud. As a Technical Project Manager, I have worked with Magento and WordPress, delivered complex online shops, and integrated client solutions such as CRM and LDAP. My career has been marked by a dedication to continuous improvement, Agile methodology, and delivering high-quality solutions to clients.

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.”
