Top SchoolJohn Safe is an experienced Agile practitioner and software leader with 15 years of experience guiding teams from developer roles into Scrum Master and Product Owner responsibilities. He has led distributed, multi-vendor teams through waterfall-to-Agile transitions and scaled practices to SAFe, delivering high-adoption business features such as a compliant sales-texting tool released early during COVID. Comfortable switching hats, John pairs hands-on engineering background with product stewardship to drive measurable outcomes—CPU and cost savings, improved test automation, and accelerated POCs that rescued multimillion-dollar deals. He combines technical problem-solving (including scientific and statistical computation work) with servant leadership, coaching teams on continuous delivery, DevOps releases, and security upgrades. A natural collaborator who has mentored junior engineers and rearchitected core product areas, he leverages tools like GitLab and CA Agile Central to keep distributed work aligned. Based in Channahon, IL, John brings a rare blend of engineering depth, construction project estimation experience, and cross-functional delivery savvy.
