I have been a certified ScrumMaster since 2006.

I advise IT teams and organizations on the benefits of transitioning to Agile, Scrum, XP, Kanban and Lean development processes and practices and why this makes sense even in a down economy. I have built my career & reputation on my commitment to delivering on customers highest expectations with outstanding quality while dealing with the frustrations & stress that go along with creative software development endevours.
