In her current consulting business, Elonka focuses on three loves: Agile Development, Game Development, and Cryptography.

She helped build the game studio Black Gate Games in Nashville, and coached the Boston-based Family Education Network (Poptropica, Funbrain) to get their own Agile development program up and running.
As of 2019, Elonka has acquired her CSP certification, is working towards her CTC (Certified Team Coach) certification, and as a consultant is available to help other companies with their own Agile Transformations.
