How Agile-DevOps is helping an R&D IT organization in an agriculture company move from maintaining hundreds of fragile IT products for R&D to providing adaptive IT platforms that can evolve at the speed of science to deliver an R&D pipeline.

Maks Shah's career can be split up into 3 decades.

In this 3rd decade, she is privileged to be part of Syngenta, a leading agriculture company. She leads a team dedicated to delivering IT and digital solutions for scientists in R&D, harnessing the latest data insights and technology to ultimately help growers around the world meet the challenges of food security in an environmentally sustainable way.

They provided on-line services and information to millions of patients and doctors monthly. During the earlier part of that second decade, Shah was the director of operations of the biometrics unit in R&D.

During the 1st decade of her career, she was a computational eco-toxicologist working across multiple industries, governments and academia. She focused on experimental design, modeling and predicting environmental impact in aquatic ecosystems.
