Living and Working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work in the Tech industry and have a passion for content creation. As practicing Agile Scrum Master and Coach I work with teams and individuals coaching them in the Agile Scrum Framework.

As a Poet, Blogger, Podcaster and video maker I try to not leave any stone unturned in the effort to try out every single passion of mine. And I want the same for others.

I am also the Founder of PenPositive a concept conceived to approach life and work with the aim to prepare individuals to excel both in their Passion and their Profession.
