About

01 — Summary

I've worked in software testing — manual and automation — since 2007, most of it spent inside high-profile programs where quality has real consequences: banking platforms, brokerage mobile apps, and large-scale retail systems.

My focus is designing test automation frameworks and strategy that hold up as products scale: API, web, mobile and mainframe coverage, Agile delivery, and clear reporting that keeps QA in step with engineering and business stakeholders. I've led cross-functional, multi-geography teams of 10+, and increasingly I build AI-assisted tooling to make testing faster without cutting corners.
