My Expertise

A bit of background on our skills and expertise

I am a Scrum Certified Product Owner (CSPO) and maximize product value for my clients. As a Product Owner, I define the vision for the product, manage the product backlog, prioritize the needs of the client and product, and ensure delivery of incremental value to the product each sprint.

I have acted as interim project manager on many occasions. I understand how to set due dates, know the importance of resourcing for a project, and know how to communicate successes and failures to upper management.

I received my Bachelors in Computer Engineering from Texas A & M University. The knowledge gained by my degree has been fundamental in helping clients while working as a programer and it now helps me to empathize with my team and propell them forward.
