About

I am a software engineer transitioning into Scrum Master and delivery leadership roles. Over an eight-year tenure at TeeJet Technologies, I moved from deep technical execution in embedded Linux and C/C++ into cross-functional coordination as an Interim Scrum Master. In 2026, I grounded this practical experience with PSM I/II and PSPO I certifications. I bridge the gap between engineering and leadership to drive product quality, mitigate risk, and ensure predictable delivery.

What I bring

Systems-level perspective across long-lived codebases, with a growing focus on team delivery, quality, and technical risk.

How I work

Clear facilitation, practical technical communication, early risk signals, and alignment between engineering and leadership.

What I value

Transparency, team flow, correctness, maintainability, and steady delivery under real constraints.

System Evaluation

Architecture reviews, delivery risk identification, and maintainability assessment.

Embedded Engineering

Embedded Linux, C/C++, and Qt/QML in production systems with real operational constraints.

Technical Due Diligence

Clear, grounded technical assessments to support informed delivery decisions.

Software Developer & Interim Scrum Master

TeeJet Technologies | May 2018 – March 2026

Operating on a tight-knit team of seven (1 PO, 1 SM, 5 Devs) over an eight-year tenure, I wore multiple hats to drive the development of a complex, modular platform for production agricultural equipment. Beyond embedded software engineering, I helped guide the engineering organization during its transition from traditional workflows toward mature Scrum-based delivery. To ensure uninterrupted team velocity, I regularly served as Interim Scrum Master, taking ownership of Daily Scrums, Sprint Planning, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives. In this hybrid capacity, I seamlessly bridged technical execution with Agile team coordination, contributing heavily to backlog refinement, QA alignment, and clear stakeholder communication throughout the project lifecycle.

Pick a resume

Scrum Master is the primary direction; software development is available when the role needs deeper engineering context. Open to roles that need both — a Scrum Master who can contribute directly as a developer when the work calls for it.

"Robert consistently demonstrated a combination of technical competence, sound judgment, and personal integrity. He approaches complex problems with a thoughtful, analytical mindset while still maintaining a practical focus on outcomes."

- Glenn Welsh, Software Engineering Manager, TeeJet Technologies

"His confidence to rely on his own skills while also knowing when to lean on others in the pursuit of properly familiarizing himself in any topic shows his dedication and would be an asset to any organization."

- Jordan Parr, Sr. Software Engineer, TeeJet Technologies
