I'm a software engineer, delivery specialist and certified Scrum Master who loves turning complex ideas into reliable, shippable software. Over nearly two decades I’ve led cross-functional product teams, coached teams to own their ways of working, and combined hands-on engineering credibility with coaching credibility to drive real outcomes. Having worked in highly regulated policing and national security environments where reliability, security and accountability matter most, I understand the discipline required to operate in compliance-driven settings. I’ve built a foundation in secure identity and access-controlled environments and I’m passionate about Agile transformation that genuinely improves how teams work, not just the process they follow.
