SEEKING WORK

Location: Currently Toronto, moving to SF in February

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies/Skills: Certified Scrum Master, Scrum & Kanban Methodologies, Multi-team Coordination, Jira, Python, Containerization, Cloud Infrastructure, Blockchain

Résumé/CV: jonpurdy.com/resume.pdf Email: hn-202001@jonpurdy.com (will respond from my real one)

I'm primarily a Technical Project Manager looking to help teams build software more efficiently.

In previous infrastructure roles I've spearheaded numerous projects, brought service endpoint uptime from ~95% to 100%, took over and grew a team, and improved team performance by implementing Infrascrum methodology. Since 2018, I've implemented Scrum and Kanban, coached junior development teams, and successfully completed and released multiple software projects, both internal and for clients. I also acted as a product manager for many of the internal products we created, developing product mission and vision statements, roadmaps, gathered user feedback, and built user-facing documentation and product websites.

As mentioned in "Who wants to be hired", I'm available on a contract or full-time basis. I have been independent since September, but wouldn't want to turn down any interesting full-time work, hence why I'm open to both.

I’m best able to fill the following roles: scrum master, product owner, technical product manager, Agile coach, or project manager, or some sort of combination of them.

Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.
