📍 Amman, Jordan

I am a PMP®, PMI-ACP®, and PSM I certified professional with more than 15 years of experience across software engineering, technical project delivery, Agile leadership, and digital product development.

I combine the strategic perspective of a project and delivery leader with the technical understanding of a software engineer. My focus is helping cross-functional teams transform complex requirements, workflows, and delivery data into scalable products and measurable business outcomes.

My guiding principle: clarity before velocity.

• Lead Agile delivery across engineering, QA, DevOps, product, data, and business teams.
• Coach teams in Scrum, Kanban, flow management, and continuous improvement.
• Manage software projects from discovery and planning through implementation and release.
• Design Jira and Confluence operating models, workflows, automations, dashboards, and governance structures.
• Improve delivery predictability using cycle time, lead time, throughput, velocity, release, and flow metrics.
• Translate business objectives into roadmaps, epics, user stories, technical plans, and measurable outcomes.
• Build scalable web applications and data-driven digital products.
• Align stakeholders, product teams, and engineers around clear priorities and realistic delivery plans.

I am designing and developing Delivery Clarity, a self-hosted Jira delivery-intelligence platform that converts Jira exports into actionable insights without requiring access to an organization’s Jira credentials.

The platform focuses on:

• Sprint and Kanban analytics
• Delivery predictability
• Lead time and cycle time
• Throughput and velocity
• Release readiness
• Flow-health analysis
• Work-item hierarchy and dependency visualization
• Orphaned-work detection
• Explainable delivery recommendations
• Management and executive reporting

The project combines my experience in Agile delivery, Jira administration, software engineering, analytics, product strategy, and user experience design.
