MICHAEL R. WATTS

Served as scrum master and developer within an agile team developing a replacement for an existing securities trading settlement and clearing system. This software was written in Scala using the Akka library and was designed to handle transaction volumes in the tens of millions per day. The team placed a heavy emphasis on continuous integration and automated build & testing using Jenkins and Ansible. Besides coding my responsibilities included conducting Scrum ceremonies such as backlog grooming, sprint retrospectives & planning and user demos.
