Hi everyone!

My name is Qing and I’m currently looking to provide pro bono services as a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager~

A little bit about myself.. I come from the beautiful panda city of Chengdu, China (that’s right, the home of the famous Kung Fu Pandas and yes they are super duper adorable~). Although my background is in Education (non-tech and non-manufacturing), ever since hearing and learning about Agile, Lean, DevOps, SaaS and Value Stream Mapping/Management a few months ago, I've been totally obsessed with these subjects (even running sprints for my personal life) and have been learning so much about them very quickly. My big dream is to one day become a top-notch practitioner and leader in these subjects, diving deep into Servant Leadership, Systems Thinking, Lean Delivery, Continuous Improvement and Real-Time Value Stream Management (particularly for DevOps). I believe that with determination, strategic prioritization, smart goal setting and hard work every one of us can achieve almost anything that we set our mind to.

Currently I’m looking to provide pro bono services as a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager, because after a few months of intense learning, I feel that I’m at a point now where I could grow more quickly by entering the real world and start gaining hands on experiences as opposed to simply learning theories and obtaining certifications. Please don’t get me wrong, I do think certifications are incredibly valuable and I do not regret getting them (PSM I, PSM II, PSPO I, PSPO II, PSD I and SPS), however more and more I’m starting to think that actual experiences are far more important and beneficial for anyone trying to enter the fast-changing tech industry (or perhaps any industry), so my focus from here on is to seek opportunities that will challenge me to the core and force me to maximize my learning through trial by fire. I’m willing to work in any time zone and am an exceptionally fast learner, so if you happen to be looking for a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager, I sincerely hope to have an opportunity to join your team.

Thank you so much for your kind consideration. Have a great day!

Gratefully yours, Qing
