I come from a Development background and started practicing agile development in the early 2000's. The areas that interested me first were around testing. In particular unit testing and automated testing that we were doing on our projects. Durng this time i was a developer and an architect.  In 2010, I joined GT Nexus and this is where i was able to become an agent of change. I helped to move the company to a more agile mindset. I brought in the technical tools we needed to move to agile including CI/CD, unit testing for both Java code and SQL.  . I also was able to get a focus on development testing using Junit, DBUnit and Mocking. In 2014, I joined Capital One in San Francisco. We were forming new teams in the Bay Area, and needed scrum masters and coaches to move us to a agile environment. I have served as a scrum master for multiple programs helping to set up the teams and lead them to agile maturity.  In 2016, I joined Wells Fargo as a Scrum Master.  I have been working with both our API teams, our DevOps and Dev Portal team adopt agile and scrum practices. I was able to coach these teams to be more self organizing and more highly performing as a team.
