How I work

I join your team and learn the context.
Turn messy requirements into clear user stories.
Keep digital projects moving by turning blockers into practical next steps.
Facilitate practical team plays (for example Atlassian Team Playbook plays) and remote working sessions.
Use just enough process for the situation: Scrum, Kanban, agile or the team’s own model.
Identify and mitigate risks.

AI-native workflows:I help teams redesign practical work around AI tools, not just add chat prompts. That can mean backlog refinement, documentation, risk mapping, stakeholder summaries and developer handoffs supported by tools such as Codex and Claude.
