Summary
Earl Fong is a technical-minded project coordinator and agile practitioner with 11 years of experience blending software engineering chops and people-focused delivery. After a decade of hands-on development at mission-driven organizations like Kiva and nonprofit-focused agencies, he pivoted to scrum and product roles to improve team effectiveness, remove process friction, and help teams produce clearer value. He volunteers as a project coordinator at Helpful, acting as an "adjunct brain" to project leads to keep cross-functional work aligned during disaster-response supply-chain design. Comfortable switching between hands-on technical tasks (Python, Flask, GraphQL, Drupal) and facilitation, he also coaches scrum masters and cultivates communities of practice. Based in San Francisco, he prefers roles with social or environmental impact, particularly climate and equitable governance, and brings a habit of trusting pragmatic instincts when choosing his next move.
