Strategic Project Manager and QA leader delivering AI-first quality at scale.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Project Manager and QA leader with 15 years of experience delivering $5M+ IT and AI programme portfolios, consistently achieving 95% on-time delivery and zero escalations. I’m known for end-to-end SDLC governance, executive stakeholder management, and building high-performing multi-disciplinary teams.
I lead Agile at Scale transformations and GenAI-integrated AI-First quality engineering, driving release management and digital transformation that reduces time-to-market by 30%. In practice, I engineer automation-first test suites and embed AI-assisted workflows to accelerate requirement-to-test lead time and improve defect containment.
Most recently, I’ve owned programme budget planning, resource allocation, and portfolio/release governance across 5+ concurrent projects. I’m passionate about mentoring QA teams, strengthening governance frameworks, and using AI-powered test intelligence to raise quality metrics—while keeping delivery predictable and escalation-free.
