Agile Transformation and Technology Adoption

As a coach, I believe story-telling is very important – even in such serious topics like Program and Delivery Management. When I create stories that are very contextual for the learners, it is that much more effective and fun (for me as well!)

Organizations transformed to Agile

I am a programmer since 1993 and have extensive experience in architecting and implementing object oriented and distributed systems.

I have architected 50+ large applications across domains which include Retail, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Health Analytics and Financials. Through PM Power, I help organisations in Agile methodology and Extreme Programming.

I am a Certified Scrum Master, TOGAF Certified Enterprise Architect and Sun Certified Java Programmer. I’m passionate about teaching and coaching teams on the practices of professional programming.

As a technical coach, I’ve coached 20+ teams to estimate, craft, deliver and maintain clean software and have transformed teams to excel in engineering by adopting Test Driven Development.

I enjoy enabling teams by offering methodology, tools, techniques, patterns and reference implementations to effectively refactor legacy code.

I have helped teams in the implementation of DevOps in 3 Large Products to reduce the quarterly releases to fortnightly releases.

Apart from technical coaching, I spend time in creating 3D Mobile Games to help students to appreciate science and mathematics better.
