I combine hands-on development experience with Agile delivery to help software teams work more effectively, remove blockers and deliver with greater clarity.
“I want teams to understand why they work the way they do, not just follow ceremonies because Scrum says they should.”
I am a PSM II certified Scrum Master with a background in front-end development.
I spent years working directly in development teams before moving further into Scrum Master and delivery work. That experience shapes the way I work now. I understand the pressures developers face, the problems caused by unclear requirements, the impact of changing priorities and how easily Agile can become a set of meetings instead of something that genuinely helps a team.
I prefer a practical approach. I want sprint planning to create clarity, stand-ups to be useful, retrospectives to lead to actual change and teams to feel ownership over how they work. I am comfortable challenging process when it is not helping, while still keeping delivery, stakeholders and team health in view.
This is the direction I want to continue growing in: helping software teams become more effective, more self-managing and more confident in how they deliver.
I try to create an environment where the team can focus on the work without unnecessary noise. That means helping improve planning, surfacing dependencies early, protecting the Sprint Goal, making blockers visible and making sure actions from retrospectives do not disappear after the meeting ends.
I focus on creating the conditions for teams to work effectively, communicate clearly and keep delivery moving. That means making sure Scrum events have a clear purpose, risks and blockers are surfaced early, and the team has the space and support to make good decisions and continuously improve how they work.
Because I have worked as a senior front-end developer, I can usually understand technical conversations, dependencies and delivery risks without needing everything translated. I do not act as a technical lead, but I can support technical teams with more context than a purely process-focused Scrum Master.
I hold both Professional Scrum Master I and II certifications, demonstrating a strong understanding of Scrum, servant leadership, team effectiveness and applying Scrum in real-world environments.
ThrillSense is an established independent theme park news and planning platform that I built from the ground up and continue to lead today.
I am responsible for the full product lifecycle, from developing new features and maintaining the platform through to editorial strategy, SEO, analytics and day-to-day publishing. The site attracts thousands of views each month and has developed relationships with theme parks and industry contacts, helping ThrillSense grow beyond a personal project into a recognised specialist publication.
Running ThrillSense has also given me hands-on experience of product ownership and continuous improvement. I regularly balance new ideas against user needs, technical effort and business value, using performance data and audience behaviour to decide what to prioritise, improve or retire. It has given me practical experience of managing a live digital product while continuing to develop its audience, functionality and commercial potential.
I designed and developed the site, its front end and its custom publishing/admin functionality rather than relying on an off-the-shelf website builder.
I maintain the platform, publishing workflows, site structure, SEO, internal tools and ongoing improvements.
I also run the editorial side, deciding coverage, writing content, managing social channels and developing ThrillSense as a growing brand.
ThrillSense is useful evidence of how I approach work: I identify a problem, decide what matters, build the solution, see how it performs and then improve it. That same mindset is a big part of how I approach Scrum Master work.
Visit ThrillSenseDevelopment is still an important part of my background, but it now supports how I work as a Scrum Master rather than being the main focus of this site.
