Background

About Michael N.

I am a technical leader who leverages Agile methodologies, SQL, and team leadership with diplomacy to ensure successful projects. My engineering degree laid the foundation for my problem-solving skills, honed through roles as a developer, analyst, manager, and architect. These roles have enabled me to tackle a range of technological, legal, and communication challenges. As a business analyst and technical project manager, I continued to address complex issues within larger organizations. I actively pursue training to expand my skillset and improve team collaboration. For instance, I have studied Java and Python to better connect with developers and testers, embraced leadership mindsets for effective stakeholder communication, and maintained proficiency in SQL. With over 10 years of experience in bridging business needs and technical execution for JIT and Agile Development Teams, I excel as Business Analyst, Scrum Master and Product Owner. My expertise includes leading Agile ceremonies, facilitating brainstorming sessions, and collaborating with internal stakeholders and third-party providers to develop web-based software. I thrive in asking critical questions to guide technical teams and deliver the desired outcomes, consistently transforming chaos into organized, actionable plans.
