Hello! I'm Lynne
I am a people person through and through.
Since 2012, I have worked within the worlds of education and technology.
I am a data driven individual who tirelessly moves my team towards more efficient processes. Uniting people over a common goal and giving the guidance, educational and technical support needed to bring their ideas to the next level is what inspires me.
I am a Certified Scrum Master and Agile Team Facilitator and I am currently looking to bring my technical and organizational skills to an agile team of developers and product owners who have a project in mind.
​
I am extremely passionate about helping people and teams do their best work. When joining a new company, I observe first in order to implement processes and workflows that work best for the individuals on the team. While Scrum and Agile practices are at the core of my management style, I ensure that I adapt to the individual needs of the group I am working with so the new workflows and agile practices are accepted and implemented with ownership from the entire team.
I lead through highlighting the excellence and strengths of each individual member of my team and approach every new situation with empathy, clarity and positivity.

HIGHLIGHTED EXPERIENCE

Scrum Master
SPOT INSURANCE
At Spot Insurance, I used my experiences in Scrum and technical project management to guide a diverse and high performing cross-functional team to do their best work.
Throughout my time at Spot, I conducted all scrum ceremonies, established company-wide efficient sprint demos, and lead the team to the timely completion of major projects.
I used data driven metrics to lead the engineering and product teams through sprint retroactive ceremonies and sprint planning, consistently moving towards more efficient ways of working as a team. Through Agile mentorship and coaching, I lead the team of 15 developers through multiple organizational transitions, leading to an open and positive work atmosphere.
​
I was tasked with revamping the incident management process. Through various metrics and observations, I was able to completely reorganized the process. I automated the workflow and moved the responsibility of the tasks to the engineering team, who were able to find effective solutions that eliminated the need for additional tickets. Through this evolution of process, I was able to free up time and effort for members of the product and engineering team.
