Scrum Master · Release Producer · Technical delivery

I make complex delivery predictable.

I help software teams plan realistically, surface risk early, and make decisions with evidence. My background in systems, quality, and live releases helps me understand the work behind the plan.

15+ years across technical delivery. Today, I lead two cross-functional teams at SciPlay.

Open to remote U.S. and Austin-area hybrid roles.

How I work

Clear plans. Visible risks. Teams that own the work.

I bring structure to the decisions that affect delivery, from sprint planning to release readiness.

Team delivery

Make the plan credible.

Bring capacity, dependencies, and QA into planning. Use delivery evidence and retrospective actions to improve the next sprint.

Release readiness

Surface risk while there is time to act.

Connect quality gates, release scope, and cross-team dependencies so the people making a decision can see what is ready and what is unresolved.

Practical automation

Make recurring work easier.

Build workflows for reporting and ticket preparation, with review before Jira changes and verification afterward.

Selected work

Delivery problems I have built for.

Operational workflows inside SciPlay and a reporting toolkit I built independently.

What it is like to work with me.

“He’s streamlined our processes, cut unnecessary meetings, and brought clarity and visibility to all levels of the team”

Christopher Fuller Product, Design & Player Experience Leader · SciPlay

David and I have worked together at SciPlay for over 4 years, and we’ve been on the same team for the majority of that time. Early on, he was our Lead QA Engineer and the go-to person for anything and everything related to Gold Fish. His tribal knowledge of the QA pipeline was unmatched — if you had a question, David had the answer.

Since then, he’s taken on the role of Release Producer and absolutely crushed it. He’s streamlined our processes, cut unnecessary meetings, and brought clarity and visibility to all levels of the team — from individual contributors to leadership. He’s constantly looking for ways to improve how we work and make everyone’s job easier.

David keeps everything tight and running smooth — from client and server updates to tools and asset bundle releases. David’s one of those people you can always count on. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team — I know I am.

“I never once saw David daunted by an assignment”

David is not only knowledgeable but fantastic at both integrating into a team structure and personally managing his own project caseload. I never once saw David daunted by an assignment and the breadth of his skillbase and ability to contribute on several levels consistently impressed all our colleagues in shared project groups. I regret the loss of David from our team and envy the firm that enjoys his efforts now.
