      I am the Product Owner of a feature team and one production support / enhancement team. We are migrating transactions from a legacy monolithic CRM system to a low-code platform (which we have also migrated to a hosted solution on AWS). My aim is to support the development of high functioning full-stack devs, empowered analysts and QAs that focus on quality and automation. All while building a great product that our clients love, one sprint at a time. Senior analyst leading the migration of CRM and Transactional workloads and data to the cloud.
