Experience

15+ years across systems analysis, release management, and agile delivery — spanning regulated gaming, healthcare, and banking. The delivery leadership work is the SciPlay era; the earlier decade at Everi and before was inside the systems themselves as analyst, developer, and PM — the foundation that makes the delivery work land. Last fifteen years covered in detail below; earlier career available at the bottom.

What’s changed under my current teams

AI-augmented delivery

Built custom AI agents that remove delivery busywork from the day-to-day (release notes, sprint status compilation, stakeholder reporting). Authored an AI prompt-governance standard for the team so these tools get adopted safely and consistently, not ad-hoc. Pairing strong agile fundamentals with practical, well-governed AI is where the next real gain in team performance comes from.

Stack

Jira, Confluence, Slack, Rovo, internal multi-agent platform. Ceremonies: sprint planning, refinement, daily stand-ups, retros, sprint reviews, quarterly PI planning.

Class II regulated cabinet games for casino floor deployment. Long-running brands include Black Diamond, Smokin' Hot Stuff, The Vault, Hi-Score, and 888 Drums Eternity.

When any single piece of software or hardware changed, verified the whole system still worked correctly end-to-end.
  • CTG Analyst III (2017–2020) — built and tested internal tools for the in-house game development teams, making the developers more effective. Direct predecessor pattern to the AI-delivery tooling work at SciPlay.

Regulated gaming environment throughout — Class II compliance, real-money jackpot linkage, high accuracy requirements on every release.
