About Sumit
Short Professional Summary
I help software and embedded systems teams make delivery predictable, transparent, and fast using Jira, Kanban, and pragmatic Agile practices.
With hands-on experience across software, hardware, electronics, and embedded teams, I support companies in fixing delivery bottlenecks, improving workflows, and setting up Jira systems that teams actually use.
