PRODUCT OWNER | BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYST
PROJECT MANAGER | SCRUM MASTER
Hello! I'm Dan
I am a Business Systems Administrator, Agile Project Leader, and Certified Scrum Master with over 20 years of experience guiding technical teams, optimizing enterprise systems, and improving delivery outcomes across telecommunications, finance, and technology organizations.
My career sits at the intersection of systems administration, agile leadership, and product ownership. I’m known for building strong cross-functional relationships, translating business needs into technical solutions, and driving operational efficiency through modernized systems and collaborative delivery practices.
At Bluebird Fiber, I administered and supported 20+ systems—ranging from Microsoft Entra ID, Exchange, Intune, SharePoint, Dynamics Business Central, Jira and CircuitVision—while also serving as a Product Owner and SME. I led maintenance cycles, system upgrades, integrations, and access management for the organization while partnering with engineering, operations, and leadership.
Previously at Commerce Trust Company, I served as Scrum Master and Product Owner across multiple agile teams, leading UI/UX improvements, developing training assets, coordinating QA and UAT, and delivering major enhancements across business lines. Earlier in my career at DST Systems, I supported enterprise-scale financial platforms and led multi-region agile development teams in the U.S., Thailand, and China.
Across all roles, I bring a passion for clarity, collaboration, process optimization, and empowering teams with the systems and structure they need to excel. I am also an active AI practitioner — certified in Claude AI — and integrate AI tools into my daily workflow for documentation, analysis, and delivery acceleration.
If your organization is looking for a seasoned technical leader who bridges business needs, system expertise, and team delivery excellence—I’d love to connect.
