Mark Soliman

Seasoned software development leader with over 22 years of industry experience in various roles.  During that time I’ve held titles such as Software Engineer, Development Team Lead, Project Manager, Development Manager, and Scrum Master. I’ve a proven track record with different types of systems ranging from a globally distributed, mission critical, retail product line, to a SAAS cloud based marketing platform.

During my career I’ve had the experience of developing software using both waterfall and SCRUM.  I’ve been using SCRUM in the role of ScrumMaster for the past 5 years and the difference has been night and day.  I’ve experienced how traditional waterfall methods fall apart when applied to software development (long release cycles, missed deadlines, and poor quality), and how SCRUM is much better tailored to handle the uncertainty, complexity, and rapidly changing priorities of that environment.  This has made me very passionate about what SCRUM in particular and agile frameworks in general can do for an organization.  Since transitioning to SCRUM, I’ve been able to work with my teams to consistently deliver high quality production ready software at regular intervals.

I hold a BE in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Management from the Stevens Institute of Technology.
