ABOUT ME
QA Engineer
QA Engineer

I’m the delivery leader you call when a program is slipping, a transformation is stuck, or
a team is underperforming and no one knows why. I figure out what’s really blocking
progress, get engineering and product on the same page, and implement systems that
restore velocity, and stakeholder confidence. I specialize in driving enterprise Agile transformation, AI enablement programs and companywide Agile program execution. I’ve led up to 10–15 Agile teams concurrently, guided $16M transformation programs, built AI governance frameworks, and delivered efficiency gains up to $60 million for fintech, government and Fortune 100 clients.

- The client renewed $750K in contracts because delivery stabilized

What changed:
- The new CRM cut costs by $1.5M a year
- Delivery stayed on schedule, which earned recognition from the CTO
- Engineering and product adopted a more consistent Agile rhythm

Client: Cummins (Global Engine Manufacturer): I partnered with leaders across engineering and product to build AI governance, improve delivery systems, and support a large transformation effort.
