About

Business Analyst → Scrum Master → Product Manager/Owner → Critique Analyst My tech journey began with a curiosity for understanding how systems, people, and business goals connect and that curiosity led me to start as a Business Analyst, where I mastered the art of gathering requirements, mapping processes, and translating business needs into clear, actionable goals. Over time, I evolved into a Scrum Master, helping teams embrace Agile practices, optimize sprint delivery, and build high-performing cultures centered on transparency, collaboration, and value-driven results. Through this role, I learned the power of facilitation, empathy, and adaptive leadership. That foundation naturally transitioned me into Product Management and Product Ownership, where I now focus on vision, strategy, and delivery — shaping products that solve real user problems while balancing business priorities, technical feasibility, and stakeholder expectations. Most recently, I’ve expanded my scope as a Critique Analyst, combining analytical thinking with a user-first mindset to identify gaps, usability issues, and product improvement opportunities before they impact customer experience. It’s a unique blend of business insight, product vision, and critique thinking that ensures continuous improvement across every release. What I Bring: * Strong foundation in Business Analysis and Process Mapping * Certified expertise in Agile / Scrum facilitation and Jira project management * Strategic Product Ownership — roadmap planning, feature prioritization, and delivery alignment * Critical eye for user experience, product flow, and design logic (Critique Analysis) * Proven ability to bridge communication between stakeholders, developers, and leadership teams What Drives Me:
Building products that are not only functional but meaningful, user-centered, and continuously improving. I thrive in environments that challenge conventional thinking and empower teams to create lasting impact. If you’re looking for someone who can connect strategy, execution, and experience — I bring the full picture.
