About Me in 20 seconds

Hi there! I'm Elton, a Senior Scrum Master and an entrepreneur on my side business.

With expertise in delivering digital products and data engineering solutions, I've built a reputation for successfully executing complex agile projects alongside diverse teams spanning multiple regions, bolstered by hands-on experience in technologies like React, React Native, Next.js, and TypeScript. I enhance the technical agility of scrum teams Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, and Scrum, leveraging project management tools like Jira/Confluence and Azure DevOps. Additionally, I've served as an instructor at the Accenture Technology (Hong Kong) Bootcamp, guiding junior software engineers and business analysts in Scrum, SAFe, and Product Ownership.

As an ESTJ-A individual, I possess a robust capacity for executing tasks effectively within a team, even when facing challenges. I like creating open-source tools and projects via programming because I am satisfied when those bring positive values to the others.

My current side project is to bring the software engineering world the capability to distill insights for engineering excellence from fragmented data.

What makes you forget time, do more of it.
