Statement:
I am an experienced software professional with more than 10 years experience in developing
Enterprise and Web applications.
I've been managing teams of developers for the last 4 years, and I'm skilled in aligning them with
business goals, guiding them through cultural changes, technology changes, and delivery of business
projects.
I'm particularly strong in forming effective working relationships with stakeholders, both internal and
external; as well as 3rd party service providers.
I have experience in with managing remote developers, and coordinating with remote development
teams.
I appreciate and encourage continuous improvement and learning in my teams, and adopt a servant-
leader approach to management. I encourage good and extensive communication between my team
and other development teams, as well as between my team and stakeholders.
I have substantial experience with various team and project management frameworks: Scrum,
Kanban, and traditional waterfall (Having practised the former for the last 5 years).
I am also an experienced technical interviewer.
