I specialize in leading multi-team initiatives in Agile, SAFe, and hybrid delivery models, with a strong focus on scope, risk, dependencies, governance, and stakeholder alignment. I work comfortably in regulated contexts where delivery transparency, control, and predictable execution are essential. My background as a software engineer gives me a technical foundation that helps me collaborate credibly with engineering, QA, and DevOps teams. I am used to translating business and product needs into actionable delivery plans, managing release readiness, and keeping execution aligned with roadmap commitments. In recent roles, I have led release governance for a regulated mobile banking platform, coordinated cross-functional teams, and improved delivery predictability through structured planning, reporting, and dependency management. I have also contributed to backlog prioritization, PI planning, sprint ceremonies, and operational improvements that reduced support requests and improved throughput. I have worked with enterprise tools and delivery ecosystems such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, MS Project, Power BI, Git, Jenkins, Bitbucket, AWS, and Azure. I also use automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve coordination, reporting, and decision-making. I am open to remote or hybrid roles and relocation, and I bring a combination of delivery leadership, technical understanding, and calm execution under pressure. I value clear communication, accountability, and building reliable delivery systems that help teams perform at their best. ## Skills 27 capabilities[Agile](https://jobicy.com/talent/agile.md)[Budget Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/budget-management.md)[Change Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/change-management.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Coaching](https://jobicy.com/talent/coaching.md)[Communication](https://jobicy.com/talent/communication.md)[Cross Functional Team Leadership](https://jobicy.com/talent/cross-functional-team-leadership.md)[GDPR](https://jobicy.com/talent/gdpr.md)[HTML](https://jobicy.com/talent/html.md)[Java](https://jobicy.com/talent/java.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/javascript.md)[Kanban](https://jobicy.com/talent/kanban.md)[Mentoring](https://jobicy.com/talent/mentoring.md)[Negotiation](https://jobicy.com/talent/negotiation.md)[Oracle](https://jobicy.com/talent/oracle.md)[PI Planning](https://jobicy.com/talent/pi-planning.md)[Project Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/project-management.md)[Release Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/release-management.md)[Risk Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/risk-management.md)[SAFe](https://jobicy.com/talent/safe.md)[Scrum](https://jobicy.com/talent/scrum.md)[SDLC](https://jobicy.com/talent/sdlc.md)[Sprint Planning](https://jobicy.com/talent/sprint-planning.md)[Stakeholder Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/stakeholder-management.md)[Strategic Thinking](https://jobicy.com/talent/strategic-thinking.md)[Waterfall](https://jobicy.com/talent/waterfall.md)[Workflow Automation](https://jobicy.com/talent/workflow-automation.md) ## Tech stack & tools Working toolkit ### Application Hosting [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/azure/azure-original.svg) Azure](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=azure.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/jenkins/jenkins-original.svg) Jenkins](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=jenkins.md) ### Collaboration [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/confluence/confluence-original.svg) Confluence](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=confluence.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/jira/jira-original.svg) Jira](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=jira.md) ### Data Stores [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/hibernate/hibernate-original.svg) Hibernate ORM](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=hibernate.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/oracle/oracle-original.svg) Oracle Database](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=oracle.md) ### Development [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/bitbucket/bitbucket-original.svg) Bitbucket](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=bitbucket.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/git/git-original.svg) Git](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=git.md) ### Languages & Frameworks [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/spring/spring-original.svg) Spring Framework](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=spring.md) ## Experience Career history ### Release Manager · BPI Jan 2020 – PresentLead release governance for a regulated mobile banking platform, coordinating engineers and QA specialists across sprint execution, release readiness, deployment planning, and production delivery controls.
