y career interest in improving work efficiency led me to patent<\/a> an automated software testing tool and toward an adjunct professor role teaching Scrum project management at NYU. <\/p>\n

After taking a D3 Visualization course as part of my Harvard degree program, I realized that I could bridge the gap between the way happy wonderful way we teach Scrum and the sad convoluted way we practice Scrum. <\/p>\n

So in 2020, I invented See Scrum, a free Scrum project visualization and Scrum continued education tool.  This editorial site aims to introduce See Scrum to the software development community in advance of my See Scrum product launch. <\/p>\n

I encourage you to read about See Scrum on my home page and to enjoy my Scrum blog posts.  Unleash and live the happy power of Scrum efficiency with See Scrum.<\/p>\n

I develop See Scrum by night but by day,  my alter ego protects the public by building software to detect stock market abuses such as insider trading and front running<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Few insider trading prosecutions end in conviction and most of those that do are initiated by a tipster, i.e., the trader is not caught by compliance departments or law enforcement. I work with big data technology and artificial intelligence to automate surveillance to detect suspicious behavior patterns early and without a tipster. <\/p>\n

Of course Scrum is my most powerful weapon in the fight against insider trading crime.  I use Scrum to measure sprint velocity<\/a>, reflect upon on my product and keep incrementally improving it. <\/p>\n

Papa, Skip the boring part and tell how you like to measure everything and weigh your food.  <\/em><\/p>\n
