What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I own quality end-to-end, build/scale testing processes, work with cross-functional teams, and contribute to safety-critical or complex systems.

I am a QA Engineer with 17 years of experience delivering manual and automated testing across technology and telecom industries, focused on high-quality software and safety-critical systems.

I have built testing processes from scratch, owned end-to-end quality on multiple projects, and collaborated closely with developers to reproduce and resolve defects rapidly.

My background includes vehicle integration and safety work at Zoox, enterprise and tooling QA at Snap-on and Vodafone, and embedded/passive safety testing in automotive projects such as Autoliv and Continental.

I bring strong technical skills in test automation (Selenium, TestNG, JUnit), scripting and languages (Java, C#, C++, Python, VB), CI/CD and tooling (Jenkins, Maven, Gradle), databases, monitoring, and cloud platforms to drive reliable releases.
