About

I build delivery systems that show up in the data.

Release Train Engineer (RTE) | Senior Scrum Master | Flow Consultant | Tampa, FL (Remote-First)

Fourteen years of delivery work taught me one pattern: the people are capable, the process is the problem. So I start with what your organization already does, make the work visible, measure it honestly, and change by agreement, so improvements are built to hold after I leave.

That method cut cycle time 42% at CPower and took flow efficiency from 15.86% to 32.8% on a measured team at NRG Energy. At ExxonMobil I facilitated PI Planning, System Demos, and Inspect & Adapt for 100+ people on a single Agile Release Train. Most recently I produced the readiness diagnostic and relaunch design for an off-cadence, multi-team release train at an enterprise client, and I run a production software product built through AI coding agents I direct, which is where my AI delivery work comes from: daily operation, not theory. Certified AI-Empowered SAFe® Release Train Engineer (RTE). Tampa based, remote-first, English and Spanish.

How I Work

From the Team Room to the Executive Suite

My engagements range from hands-on team coaching to program-level work across multiple teams. At the team level that means redesigning standups, setting WIP limits, and building flow dashboards. At the program level it means DORA metrics, Communities of Practice, and cross-team coordination design. I also deliver structured Service Delivery Reviews to VP and SVP-level leadership, translating flow data into the strategic conversations that drive organizational decisions. The common thread is measurement: every intervention is tied to data, and every recommendation is grounded in what the numbers actually show.

Industries

Energy & Utilities(NRG Energy, ExxonMobil, CPower)

Kanban system design and flow metrics instrumentation (CPower); major contributions to program-level DevOps transformation including DORA metrics facilitation, Communities of Practice design, and coaching an enterprise technology squad with skills/capacity mapping, value stream mapping, and flow efficiency improvement - approach later extended to additional teams (NRG Energy); SAFe PI Planning, System Demos, and Inspect & Adapt facilitation for 100+ team members on a single Agile Release Train, performing RTE-level responsibilities under a Senior Scrum Master title (ExxonMobil).

Financial Services & Payments(Black Knight Financial / RealEC)

Release management at scale in regulated fintech: designed and led release cadences across 80+ people spanning QA, Dev (onshore + offshore), ProdOps, CCM, and Delivery; facilitated executive Go/No-Go reviews and ATC Checkpoint presentations to Program Steering Committee; built release checklists and governance processes for both on-cycle and off-cycle deployments.

Retail(Walmart)

JIRA workflow automation and cross-project coordination design for retail technology delivery teams.

Healthcare(GSK)

SAFe Scrum Master on a short-term engagement, preparing multiple teams for PI Planning.

Hospitality & Travel Technology(Hilton Grand Vacations)

Coached seven teams (40+ members) across Sales, Analytics, Data Science, and AI. Monte Carlo forecasting replaced estimation-based scheduling, a Flow-Based Metrics briefing series ran for Senior Directors, and an AI-assisted coaching tool turned Azure DevOps flow data into retrospective prep and executive-ready narratives.

Tools I Work With

The platforms I use to instrument, visualize, and drive delivery improvements across teams.

AI Delivery Systems

I operate a production software product, Zera Fit, built and maintained through AI coding agents I direct: several agents working the same codebase in parallel, each owning its own files; automated checks that grade AI output before every release (an LLM evaluation harness gated in CI); an attack suite mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10; all governed by a numbered rulebook of 130+ standing decisions.

I bring that operating model to teams adopting AI agents: how to structure the work, evaluate LLM output before it ships, and stay accountable for what agents produce. I do not write most of the code; I design the system that writes it.
