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. My journey has seen me transform delivery models and lead Agile transformations in multinational organizations, significantly reducing cycle times and improving team performance. Certified in SAFE lean-agile leadership and The Kanban Method, I have a proven track record of training and coaching teams and senior stakeholders in Agile practices, establishing key performance indicators, and fostering environments of continuous improvement and high performance. Currently, I serve as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach at Fidelity International, where I spearhead Agile solutions delivery and mentor teams across the organization. Previously, at Paddy Power Betfair, I played a pivotal role in Agile transformation, achieving substantial reductions in cycle time and facilitating high-quality project delivery. My experience spans roles at Allied Irish Banks, Mastercard, and Deloitte, where I consistently led Agile and Kanban coaching initiatives, implemented continuous delivery models, and drove business transformation through effective project management and Agile methodologies. My educational background includes an M.Sc. in Management of Information Systems from Trinity College and a B.Sc. in Business and Management from the Dublin Institute of Technology. Additionally, I am skilled in Python, SQL, and various technology stacks, with a strong commitment to continuous learning and industry innovation.

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. “
