At Ogury, I operated at the intersection of engineering, product, and organizational coaching to help teams deliver faster, collaborate better, and raise their standards of execution. Main highlights: Agile & delivery transformation: Introduced a structured Discovery to Delivery workflow, coached PMs/EMs on slicing, user stories, acceptance criteria, flow metrics, and predictable delivery. Helped teams adopt real MVP thinking and reduce rework and go-to-market time. Engineering excellence: Raised quality through coaching on pair programming, code review, progressive rollout, feature flags, observability, and data-driven decisions. Supported tech debt management and sustainable delivery practices. Product-engineering alignment: Improved collaboration across Product Data & Engineering departments, enabling smoother cross-team initiatives, clearer ownership, and more stable delivery pipelines. Bugs and unplanned business needs prioritization framework: Co-designed a company-wide scoring system for bugs and unplanned business needs prioritization to replace the “shouting effect” with transparent, predictable decision-making. Leadership & executive coaching: Coached managers and leaders on decision-making, communication, prioritization, and team health. Helped create psychologically safe, autonomous, high-performing teams. Operational & cultural improvements: Facilitated workshops around code reviews, retrospectives, dailies and sprint reviews to improve rituals, and facilitated deep-work practices. My impact: Faster and more reliable delivery, healthier teams, improved cross-team alignment, better business visibility, and a significant improvement in engineering and product practices.
