Professional Summary
I am a versatile Product Manager, Full Stack Developer, and ITIL4 Certified professional with over a decade of experience in software engineering, automation, and agile product management. With a background spanning across government, healthcare, and private sectors, I have a strong track record of leading cross-functional teams, designing innovative solutions, and delivering high-impact projects.
During my time at Peraton (2017–2024), I served in various roles, including Senior Associate, Scrum Master, Product Manager, and Software Engineer. I led the development and implementation of automated testing frameworks for over 40 projects, ensuring nearly 95% code coverage and successfully securing multi-million dollar funding for internal R&D initiatives. I streamlined processes, reducing costs by 30%, and played a key role in managing cloud infrastructure while maintaining DoD standards and security compliance.
As a Scrum Master, I excelled in organizing agile ceremonies and fostering collaboration, leading teams to meet aggressive deadlines while maintaining high product quality. My expertise in CI/CD pipelines, cloud technologies (AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry), and web development frameworks (Ruby on Rails, Java, JavaScript) helped deliver efficient, scalable, and secure solutions.
In previous roles at United Health Group and Sprint, I honed my skills in automation testing, defect tracking, and test strategy development, which helped me drive improvements in product reliability and reduce manual testing effort through robust Selenium WebDriver automation.
I'm passionate about delivering high-quality products and creating solutions that meet both user needs and business objectives. Whether it's collaborating with stakeholders, enhancing team processes, or ensuring technical excellence, I bring a commitment to continuous improvement, proactive problem-solving, and a deep technical understanding.
