Eight years in Agile coaching, a background in airport operations, and an unreasonable attachment to backlog grooming — professionally and, it turns out, recreationally too.

Turning good intentions into shipped software.
Yazid is a Scrum Master, Agile Coach and Product Owner based in Singapore, with eight years spent turning good intentions into working software — first at Singapore Airlines, shipping digital products used by more than three million travellers, and more recently coaching cross-functional teams through Agile transformation across banking, cloud engineering and public-sector technology.
He's Certified Scrum Master and Google Project Management-certified, but the credentials are less interesting than the pattern underneath them: he's spent his whole career in the gap between what a business needs and what a team can actually ship, and he's happiest closing that gap a little further with each sprint.
Before agile coaching, he worked airport operations at Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways — check-ins, baggage, gate coordination. It's a different kind of delivery pressure, but it left him with a genuine appreciation for a process that just works.

Backlog grooming, with worse Wi-Fi.
Off the clock, Yazid trades one kind of obstacle course for another. He rides mountain bike trials — picking a bike over ledges, rails and steps it was never quite built for — and boulders indoors, working out routes one hold at a time.
He'll be the first to point out that both are just backlog grooming with worse Wi-Fi: break a big, intimidating problem into a sequence of small, deliberate moves, and don't put your foot down until you're through it.
