Central Identity Management

100% milestones achieved. 38% margin (objective was 30%). Lead the agile transformation from Scrum to SAFe without impacting on the delivery. Integrated a multidisciplinary team spread in three locations: Manila, Rotkreuz, and Barcelona.

Central Identity Management is a centralized login for all Roche laboratories and applications. Using pioneer technologies like Docker or Kubernetes, the team implemented a solution for all Roche labs around the world providing a high-quality code system securing ISO 13485 and creating a unique automatic process for generating documentation that was spread afterward among the organization.

3D Benchmarking team was accountable for printing most challenging parts with different purposes:
- Enable sales: on the last stage of the sale process, customers send us their tricky parts to actually test our technology.
- Marketing: printing the most accurate parts providing the best L&F parts with the maximum mechanical properties to expose them around the world.
- Back-up printing: whenever a customer's printer is down, we print their parts until the technical team resolves their issues.
- Investigation: providing parts to the internal team in order to test our own technology.

Migrated an old fashioned app to a brand new tool adding new requirements and functionalities. Transformed a team that used to work on the Waterfall model to become an effective Agile team. Reached 100% milestones accomplishing all defined SLAs.

Comlab used radiofrequency technology to provide trains and tunnels with the necessary sensors for the good function of all trains. Getting the management tool ready to work with alarms, modules, and submodules was a challenge for all the team especially due to the tree view that had to handle hundreds of thousands of sensors.

The product care team is the maintenance team for the largest Roche software product: Infinity. The scrum team delivers service patches and hotfixes depending on the severity and the urgency of every lab knowing that these fixes could impact patient lives. In the beginning, the team was releasing three hotfixes/month when it was not really necessary. We gain recognition and become a more powerful team in terms of decision making.
