AI-fluent Agile Project Manager · Scrum Master · Delivery Manager — 10+ years leading Agile delivery for US proptech (Roofstock, Mynd). Cut maintenance cycle time 54%, raised CSAT 35%. Certified PMP, PSM II, PSPO II.
I run software delivery end-to-end and fix teams that ship late, ship the wrong thing, or burn out doing it. Over 10+ years across e-commerce, real estate, CRM/ERP, blockchain, e-learning, BI, and games, I've led as Project Manager, Scrum Master, Agile Coach, and Engineering Manager — most recently for two US proptech companies (Roofstock, Mynd).
What I do for you:
- Own Agile delivery: sprint planning, backlog, ceremonies, stakeholder alignment, risk and dependency management.
- Build and lead engineering teams: hired 10+ engineers, onboarded 15+, led 8–10 people across 2 Scrum teams.
- Drive Agile transformation and coaching: process and metric design, servant leadership, team communication and motivation.
- Turn fuzzy ideas into clear requirements, user-story maps, and a delivery plan the team can execute.
How I use AI in delivery:
I work AI-native, not buzzword-deep. I put agentic coding and code-review assistants to work speeding up engineering, wire AI agents into the team's Jira/Confluence to kill status-meeting overhead, and use AI research and notebook tools to turn scattered docs into clear, build-ready requirements. Certified in GenAI for Project Managers — I bring a practical playbook for where AI actually saves a delivery team time, and where it doesn't.
Results (real, from Roofstock & Mynd):
- Cut property-maintenance cycle time 54% across 75% of properties by restructuring intake and standardizing the sprint workflow.
- Raised CSAT 35% across 69% properties.
- Improved margin 29% across 67% of line items.
- Held sprint planning accuracy at 80% with PR cycle time at a 20h median.
- Kept 75%+ of sprint capacity on new-feature work vs. maintenance.
Frameworks: Scrum, SAFe, LeSS / LeSS Huge, Nexus, Kanban, Lean Startup, Waterfall.
Tools: Jira, Notion, ClickUp, MS Project, Trello; Miro, Figma, Lucidchart; BPMN / UML.
Certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP), Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II), Professional Scrum Product Owner II (PSPO II), Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS), Professional Agile Leadership – EBM (PAL-EBM), GenAI for Project Managers.
Engagement: contract or contract-to-hire, 30+ hrs/week, remote. Full overlap with EU working hours and strong overlap with US time zones.
