Experienced Head of QA with a focus on automation and quality management.
What I'm looking for
With over a decade of experience in quality assurance, I have honed my skills in test automation and quality management across various industries, including finance, AI, and cloud software. My journey began in 2010, and since then, I have successfully led teams and implemented innovative testing frameworks that have significantly improved product quality and reduced testing cycles.
At Iva Technologies, I spearheaded the development of a video-conference system, integrating local LLM for self-healing tests and introducing a CI process that decreased test cycle efforts by 30%. My role as Head of QA at Open Financial Marketplace allowed me to build an autotesting framework from scratch, covering 100% of user stories with automated tests, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in quality assurance.
My educational background in robotics and advanced cybersecurity, combined with my hands-on experience in leading QA teams, positions me uniquely to drive quality initiatives in any organization. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance testing processes and ensure the delivery of high-quality software products.
